that uses massive online databases and network analysis to come up with
some rules of thumb for productive collaborations.

 A Network Solution , Nature Excerpts: With the right plan, systems
biology can empower drug discovery, (...). Molecular pathways and networks
have already been developed and used to model drug actions. For example, a
computational model of the ion-channels in the heart has been used to
study the role of the late sodium current in cardiac arrhythmia and to
explain the previously ill-understood mode of action of the
cardio-protective drug ranolazine. Elsewhere, maps of molecular pathways
and their interconnection within larger intracellular or intercellular
networks are providing a framework for the evaluation of novel therapeutic
strategies.

Bug Out - The Balance Between Threats To Security And Liberty Is At A
Tipping Point , Times Online Excerpts: Ninety-five per cent of serious
crime investigations involve communications data, which has also proved
critical in terrorism prosecutions. But the overall volume of digital
communications is rising exponentially, and police and the security forces
fear they cannot keep track of all of it under existing legislation. They
worry in particular about little-known ISPs providing cover for
clandestine communication networks by failing to store data as required;
and about individuals vanishing behind assumed online identities. * [53]
