Description: The triumph of reductionistic approaches in biomedical research has yielded unprecedented knowledge of the components involved in biological processes, and now poses the challenge of integrating this knowledge into a complete understanding. For example, the revolution in molecular biology has yielded dramatic new insights into the genes and gene products that might guide embryonic development. To answer the basic question of how an embryo develops, we must determine how these molecular processes are assembled into the working macroscopic entities we call organisms.
