We describe a graduate course in quantitative biology that is based on original path-breaking papers in diverse areas of biology; each of these papers depends on quantitative reasoning and theory as well as experiment. Close reading and discussion of these papers allows students with backgrounds in physics, computational sciences or biology to learn essential ideas and to communicate in the languages of disciplines other than their own.
我们描述了一门定量生物学的研究生课程,该课程基于生物学不同领域具有开创性的原创论文;这些论文中的每一篇都依赖于定量推理、理论以及实验。对这些论文进行仔细阅读和讨论,能让具有物理、计算科学或生物学背景的学生学习到核心概念,并能用自身专业以外的学科语言进行交流。
