Systems Biology

For life to be understood and disease to become manageable, the wealth of postgenomic data now needs to be made dynamic. This development requires systems biology, integrating computational models for cells and organisms in health and disease; quantitative experiments (high-throughput, genome-wide, living cell, in silico); and new concepts and principles concerning interactions. This book defines the new field of systems biology and discusses the most efficient experimental and computational strategies. The benefits for industry, such as the new network-based drug-target design validation, and testing, are also presented.

Systems Biology is one of the new and fast developing fields in science. This book is the first to give a comprehensive definition and overview, and to highlight the applications of systems biology Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
