Abstract

This volume focuses on methodological aspects of systems biology in order to provide a new theoretical approach with a robust and tailored experimental support. Chapters detail mathematical modeling, methodological issues, modulation of the collective behavior, metabolic, dynamic profiling, and quantitative morphological studies. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Systems Biology aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
