Cell Systems Biology Issue: 18 March, 2011
In thinking about complexity, it's frequently invoked that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This notion serves as one of the motivating principles of systems biology, which seeks to understand the emergent properties of complex biological systems. Among many biologists, systems biology is also synonymous with the use of particular approaches, including high-throughput techniques, large-scale integration of datasets, and computational modeling to probe system behaviors.
