An Introduction to Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits (Chapman & Hall/CRC Computational Biology Series)

you can see the course on You-tube and use the book to follow along. Best ever for this topic!

There are a few books that can be consider THE BOOK for their field. This is absolutely the defining book for transcription factor networks and the mathematics of systems biology.

I mean the whole premise behind this book is nuts.At a high level, even elementary cells seem to have behavior programmed into them and while a biologist may do many experiments to confirm these behaviors. The engineer's perspective would be to confirm how cells work by using them to build small programs instead of using circuits.Most fun I've had reading a biology book ever.

I have had the first edition for years and welcome this new edition. The updates and added material have extended the explanations that the author has developed for this important field of study. This book along with the class room youtube presentations make an excellent combination to learning about Systems Biology.

It is a very good book. Very well written, everything is clearly illustrated and presented. It makes a tough subject easy to follow

If one looks in the Index of this book, one cannot find the term "Systems Biology"!!!!! There is no introductory chapter in the book which would tell reader what systems biology is. I am very disappointed. I was hoping to learn first about systems biology in general, but no luck. I do not recommend this book.

Arrived in terrible condition. Dirty. One corner of the book has water damage. I thought I was buying a new book but this book seems used.
