Harnessing formal concepts of biological mechanism to analyze human disease

2018-06-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mechanism is a widely used concept in biology: in 2017 more than 10% of PubMed abstracts used the term. Thus, searching for and reasoning about mechanisms is fundamental to much of biomedical research, but until now there has been almost no computational infrastructure for this purpose. Recent work in the philosophy of science has explored the central role that the search for mechanistic account...
