Article Abstract:

The issue whether the systems-biology revolution, which focuses on the interaction between cogs in the machine, instead of on the cogs themselves, has undermined the foundations of discovery-based science is addressed. For this purpose a debate was conducted in U.S. where recent doubling of federal funds for biological research was accompanied by a decline in successful grant applications, suggesting that there is a shift towards larger project.
