Foundations of Systems Biology
edited by Hiroaki Kitano

The emerging field of systems biology involves the application of
experimental, theoretical, and modeling techniques to the study of
biological organisms at all levels, from the molecular, through the
cellular, to the behavioral. Its aim is to understand biological processes
as whole systems instead of as isolated parts. Developments in the field
have been made possible by advances in molecular biology--in particular,
new technologies for determining DNA sequence, gene expression profiles,
protein-protein interactions, and so on. Foundations of Systems Biology
provides an overview of the state of the art of the field. The book covers
the central topics of systems biology: comprehensive and automated
measurements, reverse engineering of genes and metabolic networks from
experimental data, software issues, modeling and simulation, and
system-level analysis.

Hiroaki Kitano is Director of the ERATO Kitano Symbiotic Systems Project of
the Japan Science and Technology Corporation and a Senior Researcher at
Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc.
