"Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems."
Systems biology is an interdisciplinary field that involves the study of biological systems as a whole, rather than individual parts. Topics include modeling and simulation of biological systems and metabolic networks.
"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."
