Power Laws, Scale-free Networks and Genome Biology deals with
crucial aspects of the theoretical foundations of systems biology,
namely power law distributions and scale-free networks which have
emerged as the hallmarks of biological organization in the
post-genomic era. The chapters in the book not only describe the
interesting mathematical properties of biological networks but
moves beyond phenomenology, toward models of evolution capable of
explaining the emergence of these features. The collection of
chapters, contributed by both physicists and biologists, strives to
address the problems in this field in a rigorous but not
excessively mathematical manner and to represent different
viewpoints, which is crucial in this emerging discipline. Each
chapter includes, in addition to technical descriptions of
properties of biological networks and evolutionary models, a more
general and accessible introduction to the respective problems.
Most chapters emphasize the potential of theoretical systems
biology for discovery of new biological phenomena.
