contents Biological systems are generally complicated and/or complex. In the former approach, one sets up a model with a large number of parameters to describe the system in detail. The latter approach focuses on understanding the universal aspects of biological systems. In this case, an appropriate simple model represents a universality class. The extraction of universal properties is supported by evolutionary robustness and the reduction of dimensionality in high-dimensional states. Integrating the data-driven omics approach with the universality approach is an important step in systems biology.
