Simple Examples

A collection of posts in search of simplicity in computational biology and bioinformatics, in the spirit of the following quotes:

Physicists always have the habit of taking the simplest example of any phenomenon and calling it “physics”, leaving the more complicated examples to become the concern of other fields.

– Richard Feynman, Lectures on Physics, Ch. 31

Simple experiments and simple theorems are the building blocks that help understand complicated larger phenomena.

– Ali Rahimi and Ben Recht, Reflections on Random Kitchen Sinks

Wright, Fisher, and I all made simplifying assumptions which allowed us to pose problems soluble by the elementary mathematics at our disposal […]. Our mathematics may impress zoologists but do not greatly impress mathematicians.

– JBS Haldane, A Defense of Beanbag Genetics
