WHAT IS SYSTEMS BIOLOGY?
The post-genome era has provided extraordinary opportunities, not just for basic and applied biological research, but also in computational biology. The advent of high throughput experimental approaches and data analyses has also necessitated the construction of appropriate platforms and machines that can cope with such a shift in experimental scale. All this has undoubtedly had the effect of opening up basic biological research to mathematicians, computer
