An Introduction to Systems Biology has 72 ratings and 4 reviews. Thorough and accessible, this book presents the design principles of biological systems.

An Introduction to Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits builds a solid foundation for the intuitive understanding of general principles. It encourages the reader to ask 'why' a system is designed in a particular way and then proceeds to answer with simplified models.

The book is beautiful~ As a graduate student in biology, I always get lost in millions of details and really have the feeling that we may never make sense of biology. This book has an optimistic sense that we are able to find rules behind biology or truly understand biology if we are trying to find them. Still, biology is so complicated and I don't think the type of research described in the book will solve all the problems, but it does offers some very good points of view that I would like to kee The book is beautiful~ As a graduate student in biology, I always get lost in millions of details and really have the feeling that we may never make sense of biology.

Living cells are a special form of condensed matter, matter that has been optimized by evolution to perform functions. Are there laws of nature that govern living matter, that stem from the 'need' to function? Are there common design-principles shared by living systems and human-made objects that perform functions, such as machines, circuitry and software? This course discusses theoretical concepts and analysis of biological networks. We discuss gene- and protein-circuits as computational devices, and approaches for analysis of large networks. The theoretical discussion is accompanied by examples of well-studied model systems.
