My PhD addresses the analysis of large omics data sets and its relationship to knowledge production. Specifically, I am taking a historical and philosophical approach to analysing the integration of omics data into mathematical and computational models of metabolism and the implications of these modes of analysis for systems perspectives on evolution. Specific questions arising from this work include: How does model use change over time: what is the relationship between the integration of genomics data into models of metabolism and the use of these models as tools in evolutionary systems biology? And, what is the impact of data availability and presentation on modelling practices: how has the initial emphasis on the production of discrete rather than continuous data types affected the use of particular modelling approaches and shaped research questions?
