Abstract
We draw an analogy between biology and computer hard-ware systems and argue for the need of a tower of abstractions to tame complexity of living systems. Much like in hardware design, where engi-neers use a tower of abstractions to produce the most complex man-made systems, we stress that in reverse engineering of biological systems; only by using a tower of abstractions we would be able to understand the " program of life " .
