8.1 INTRODUCTION
Lengths and shapes are approached in different ways in different fields: they serve as a read-out for classifying genes or proteins in cell biology whereas they result from scaling arguments in condensed matter physics. Here, a combined approach with examples illustrated for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is proposed.
