What is Systems Biology?

Technological breakthroughs, including those enabled by the Human Genome Pro
ject, are providing new opportunity to understand the complex systems and ne
tworks responsible for most important biological functions. Systems biology
is a powerful approach to studying genes and proteins made possible through
these technological advances. Unlike traditional biology that has examined s
ingle genes or proteins in isolation, systems biology simultaneously studies
the complex interaction of many levels of biological information - genomic
DNA, mRNA, proteins, functional proteins, informational pathways and informa
tional networks -to understand how they work together.
Systems biology will help unravel the mysteries of human immunity and identi
fy strategies for preventing diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and AIDS. W
hile the challenges are breathtaking - the human brain, for example, has ~10
12 nerve cells with ~1015 connections - so are the opportunities to develop
revolutionary medical applications that benefit humankind.

爱情是什么颜色的 如果忧郁是蓝色的
快乐是什么颜色的 如果寂寞是灰色的
天空是什么颜色的 如果汪洋是蓝色的
我说天空也是蓝色的 因为他们彼此相爱了
