“Paradigm Shift”
“The new paradigm, now emerging, is that all the 'genes' will be known (in the sense of being resident in databases available electronically), and that the starting point of a biological investigation will be theoretical. An individual scientist will begin with a theoretical conjecture, only then turing to experiment to follow or test that hypothesis.”
-Walter Gilbert. Toward a paradigm shift in biology. Nature, 349: 99 (1991).
“典範轉移”
“現在出現了的新範式，我們將知道所有“基因”（從數據庫中提取）。生物學研究的將是起始於理論上的，科學家將從理論推測開始，然後進行實驗以檢驗該假設。”
