Familiar sciences of biology, physics, chemistry, cybernetics, and
computational methods for dealing with vast new data sets of
information at molecular and sub-molecular levels are morphing into
new sciences. Some exist beneath our line of sight where laws of
nature hover between Newtonian and quantum mechanics. New fields of
cyber-, bio-, nanotechnology and systems biology raise arcane new
concepts. The completed human genome has led to an explosion of
interest in genetics and molecular biology. The view of the genome
as a network of interacting computational components is well
established and here writers explore it in new ways. These systemic
approaches are timely in light of the availability of an increasing
number of genomic sequences, and the generation of large volumes of
biological data by high-throughput methods. Suitable for
two-semesters of study, the works surveys genomics principles in
the 13 chapters of Vol I, and networks and models in the 14
chapters of Vol II. Both, as a two-book set, will serve as core
foundation titles for Dennis Shasha's Series in Systems Biology,
establishing the principles and challenges for this emerging field
of study. In each chapter world-renowned experts trail-blazing in
their respective fields will review corresponding topics as well as
current and planned research. Chapters will treat the integrated
study and analysis of biological systems by use of data and
information about the system components in their entirety, as
opposed to the study of individual components in isolation. Systems
Biology courses are popping up all over the place and biology,
computer science, and bioinformatics programs are the primary
potential takers. The editors plan books for a very wide audience,
at the same time providing a comprehensive repository of up-to-date
overviews and predictions for a number of inter-related sub-fields
within this hierarchy. Intended readers include graduate students
plus academic and professional researchers of genomics,
bioinformatics, molecular biology, biochemistry, bioengineering,
and computer systemic approaches to those fields. By comparison,
Shasha's first Systems Biology Series title, Amos's Cellular
Biology, is a book for technologists using biology as a vehicle to
do something else, whereas this is a book about systems and related
technologies in service to biologists. The volume editors plan to
review or have reviewed, and to edit the invited chapters for
content and consistent conceptual level, each chapter contributing
uniquely to the key aspects of the Systems Biology hierarchy. A few
chapter contents may date after two years, but the majority will
endure for longer-term reference use because they treat
methodologies and provide sample applications.
