Systems Biology and In-Depth Applications for Unlocking Diseases: Principles, tools and Application to Disease provides the essence of systems biology approaches in a practical manner illustrating the basic principles essential to develop and model in real life science applications. Methodologies covered show how to interrogate biological data, with the purpose of obtaining insight about disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Systematically written in 3 parts this book first provides an introduction and history of systems biology; next it provides the tools and resources needed for structure and function of biological systems; and finally, it provides the evidence of systems biology in action to better understand disease connections. Examples include big data techniques, scale networks, mathematical model development, and much more. This is the perfect reference to provide the fundamental base of knowledge needed for systems biologists, professionals in systems medicine, computational biologists, and bioinformaticians whether needed for immediate application or for building a comprehensive understanding of the field.
