Abstract excerpt
Biological systems are robust, in that they can maintain stable phenotypes under varying conditions or attacks. Biological systems are also complex, being organized into many functional modules that communicate through interlocking pathways and feedback mechanisms. In these systems, robustness and complexity are linked because both qualities arise from the same underlying mechanisms. When perturbed by multiple...
