Explanatory Levels in Living Organisms

Oxford University Press eBooks, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 179 - 199

Published: Dec. 31, 2024

Abstract This paper examines two notions of levels that are invoked in biology—levels mechanisms and control—and demonstrates both level defined only locally. Neither generates to a general stratification biological entities. This, however, does not present problem for either the practices biologists or philosophers seeking understand biology. In terms locally characterized levels, researchers can develop multilevel mechanistic explanations explicate what is intended by claims bottom-up top-down causation. Likewise, how distinctive type mechanism, control operates on alters operation other mechanisms. Control often understood hierarchically, but biology heterarchical. The result processes neatly stratified. Nonetheless, be identified Defining suffices explanatory purposes

How molecular techniques are developed from natural systems

Genetics, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 224(3)

Published: May 16, 2023

Abstract A striking characteristic of the molecular techniques genetics is that they are derived from natural occurring systems. RNA interference, for example, utilizes a mechanism evolved in eukaryotes to destroy foreign nucleic acid. Other case studies I highlight restriction enzymes, DNA sequencing, polymerase chain reaction, gene targeting, fluorescent proteins (such as, green protein), induced pluripotent stem cells, and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated 9. The systems’ strategy technique development means biologists utilize activity mechanism's effector (protein or RNA) exploit biological specificity acid can cause precise reactions). also argue developmental trajectory novel techniques, such as has 4 phases. first phase discovery phenomenon. second identification trigger(s): specificity. third application trigger(s) technique. final maturation refinement Developing new nature crucial future genetic research.
