Abstract

Modern biological science depends on hypotheses generation, which can best be obtained without pre-conceptions, and by collective teamwork and individual brilliance. Therefore, â€˜openâ€™ searches can lead to informative hypotheses generation that in turn can be framed, delved into and tested, ultimately leading to novel mechanistic insights and translation into informative diagnostics and therapeutics.
