Reductionistic and Holistic Science
Open accessAbstract
A reductionistic approach to science, epitomized by molecular biology, is often contrasted with the holistic approach of systems biology. However, molecular biology and systems biology are actually interdependent and complementary ways in which to study and make sense of complex phenomena.

“Similarly, the power of reductionism was shown when a single Yersinia gene could confer upon Escherichia coli K-12 the ability to invade eukaryotic cells in tissue culture (24) or when the replacement of murine E-cadherin with its human counterpart rendered transgenic mice susceptible to oral challenge with Listeria (…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
