Abstract
Technological breakthroughs have enabled complete genomic sequencing and proteomic study of many species, fueling exponential growth in the available biological data relevant to important biological functions. The computational analysis of these datasets has been hampered by many structural and scientific barriers. The application of symbolic toolsets borrowed from the term rewriting and formal methods communities may help accelerate biologists understanding of network effects in complex biochemical systems of interest.
