Systems biology: Reverse engineering the cell
Nicholas T. Ingolia1 & Jonathan S. Weissman1
Abstract
Borrowing ideas that were originally developed to study electronic circuits, two reports decipher how yeast reacts to changes in its environment by analysing the organism's responses to oscillating input signals.
Systems biology has certainly caught people's attention. But when pressed to define precisely what it is, let alone how it will complement classic reductionist approaches, concrete answers can be hard to find.
