All sustems go

摘要

Systems biology could be the key to future medical and technological advances. Systems biology is an increasingly important discipline in the life sciences. As of June 2013, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council had committed 85mto research, training and infrastructure for an approach that attempts to explain the behaviour of a biological entity (cell, organ, or organism) from the perspective of the connections in a network of individual components in a system. This approach often requires computational modelling tools to represent the relationships between all the components.
