leroy hoodDr. Leroy Hood, president of the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle, in the October 15, 2007 issue of Newsweek International:

…biology is an informational science, and that there are really two pieces of biological information. One is the digital code of the genome, and that’s what the sequencer lets us translate. But the other is the way the environment impinges on the genome and changes it. We can now analyze biological complexity in ways we could never have conceived before.
