Burnston	Real Patterns in Biological Explanation	2017	21	.pdf	application/pdf	5390	342	49	these patterns are often explanatory in biology, and that their roles in explanation are distinct from the respective roles normally posited for operations and generalizations in discussion of I claim that the explanatory role of patterns is distinct from those of operations and explanatory role does not depend on any specific facts about the scope or domain of In showing that patterns play a distinct role from either operations or insist that patterns explain in virtue of having a particular scope or domain of invariance. both cases, the error is due to equating the explanatory role of patterns and generalizations. on temporal patterns regarding phase relationships and proportional responses in gene patterns of activity for each promoter type are important for explaining how an entire cell can they miss the distinction between patterns and generalizations, and the important explanatory role played by the describing the relative roles of operations, patterns, and generalizations in explanation.	./cache/work_o2oaxbrcbvbbpmsxwkbwixp5jy.pdf	./txt/work_o2oaxbrcbvbbpmsxwkbwixp5jy.txt
