  • To underscore the quantitative and computational nature of 21st-century systems biology.

Main Methods:

  • Computational modeling of biological interactions.
  • Analysis of large-scale biological databases.
  • Utilizing advanced algorithms and computing hardware.

Main Results:

  • Functional interactions at the protein level are critical for biological analysis.
  • Computational methods enable quantitative exploration from genes to whole-organ physiology.
  • Systems biology is emerging as a highly quantitative and computer-intensive discipline.

Conclusions:

  • Modeling biological interactions computationally is essential for understanding health and disease.
  • The integration of biological data and computational power drives systems biology.
  • Future biological research will increasingly rely on quantitative, computer-intensive approaches.
