Biology in Space and Time
Manage episode 414434796 series 3566384
It's no surprise that biological systems change dramatically over space and time, but we often ignore these dynamics when comparing biological samples. In the latest episode of Translating Proteomics, Parag and Andreas discuss why it's essential to take space and time into account and envision ways we can design experiments that explicitly incorporate spacial and temporal considerations.
Chapters:
00:00 - Biological systems as dynamic, adaptive systems
04:45 - How current experimental designs rarely take space and time into account
11:54 - The tools necessary to sufficiently measure biology in space and time
Some key takeaways from the conversation:
- Different biological processes occur at very different time scales
- Complex, multiomic interactions can only be understood over time and space
- We need to properly collect, annotate, and share omics-level data in order to understand the rules that govern complex biology
