The definition of Biology: The scientific study of life.
What is biology?
Biology is an information science that is close to computer science and mathematics. The early 2000s is at the point where the conventional views of molecular biology change rapidly with new views. One of them is the transition from the object-oriented understanding of biology to an interaction-oriented understanding. Many scientists have predicted the reverse of reductionism in biology, and such interaction-based molecular research is the starting point of a holistic way of performing biology. The most appropriate and general name of such a non-reductionist methodology of doing biology is perhaps systems biology. We now have enough individual objects in biology to look at the architecture of the biological information object networks. --J 21:04, 26 Feb 2005 (KST)
