Preface
Introduction to Systems Biology is intended to be an introductory text
for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in com-
prehensive biological systems. Because genomics, transcriptomics, pro-
teomics, interactomics, metabolomics, phenomics, localizomics, and other
omics analyses provide enormous amounts of biological data, systematic
instruction on how to use computational methods to explain underlying
biological meanings is required to understand the complex biological
mechanisms and to build strategies for their application to biological
problems.
The book begins with an introductory section on systems biology. The
experimental omics tools are briefly described in Part II. Parts III and
IV introduce the reader to challenging computational approaches that
aid in understanding biological dynamic systems. These last two parts
provide ideas for theoretical and modeling optimization in systemic bio-
logical researches by presenting most algorithms as implementations,
including the up-to-date, full range of bioinformatic programs, as well as
illustrating available successful applications.
The authors also intend to provide a broad overview of the field using
key examples and typical approaches to experimental design (both wet-
lab and computational). The format of this book makes it a great resource
book and provides a glimpse of the state-of-the-art technologies in
systems biology. I hope that this book presents a clear and intuitive
illustration of the topics on biological systemic approaches and further
introduces ideal computational methods for the reader’s own research.
