An Introduction to Computational Systems Biology

This book delivers a comprehensive and insightful account of applying mathematical modelling approaches to very large biological systems and networks—a fundamental aspect of computational systems biology. The book covers key modelling paradigms in detail, while at the same time retaining a simplicity that will appeal to those from less quantitative fields.

Key Features:

A hands-on approach to modelling

Covers a broad spectrum of modelling, from static networks to dynamic models and constraint-based models

Thoughtful exercises to test and enable understanding of concepts

State-of-the-art chapters on exciting new developments, like community modelling and biological circuit design

Emphasis on coding and software tools for systems biology
