"Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems."
The study of biological systems as a whole, rather than just individual components.
Molecular Biology: The study of the molecular basis of biological activity in cells.
Biochemistry: The study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
Genetics: The study of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms.
Cell biology: The study of the structure and function of cells.
Proteomics: The large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions.
Metabolomics: The study of the chemical processes that occur within a living cell or organism.
Signal transduction: The process by which signals are transmitted between cells and within cells.
Network analysis: The study of complex networks and their properties.
Computational biology: The use of computer simulations and mathematical models to study biological systems.
Systems theory: The study of complex systems and their behavior.
Dynamics of biological systems: The study of the behavior of biological systems over time.
Statistical methods: The use of statistics to analyze data in biology.
Data mining: The process of extracting information from large data sets.
Machine learning: The use of algorithms to make predictions based on data.
Simulation modeling: The use of computer models to create simulations of biological systems.
Evolutionary biology: The study of the origin and evolution of species.
Biophysics: The study of biological systems using the principles of physics.
Synthetic biology: The engineering of biological systems for specific purposes.
Molecular simulations: Computer simulations of molecular interactions and processes.
Bioinformatics: The application of computer science and information technology to the management and analysis of biological data.
Proteomics: The study of the entire complement of proteins produced by a cell, tissue, or organism, including their structures, functions, and interactions.
Genomics: The study of genomes, the entire genetic complement of an organism.
Structural biology: The study of the three-dimensional structure of biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids.
Systems biology: The study of biological systems at the system level, considering interactions and feedback between components of a system.
"It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach (holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research."
"Particularly from the year 2000 onwards, the concept has been used widely in biology in a variety of contexts."
"The Human Genome Project is an example of applied systems thinking in biology..."
"...which has led to new, collaborative ways of working on problems in the biological field of genetics."
"One of the aims of systems biology is to model and discover emergent properties..."
"...properties of cells, tissues, and organisms functioning as a system..."
"...whose theoretical description is only possible using techniques of systems biology."
"These typically involve metabolic networks or cell signaling networks."
"...complex biological systems."
