of a dynamic interacting system. This has led to the development of the concept of
systems biology, which can be defined as the study of living organisms in terms
of their underlying network structure rather than just their individual molecular
components. Since systems biology requires a study of all interacting components
in the cell the new high throughput and quantitative.
