Abstract

Systems biology utilizes experimental and computational tools with a goal of understanding the intact, interconnected functionality of biological systems. The ability to comprehensively experimentally measure and computationally model all of the individual components in a cell has added new dimensions to our understanding of how cellular systems work. This knowledgebase provides the necessary foundation for modifying and engineering cellular function. Overviews of core experimental and computational systems biology methods are discussed and illustrations of application of these methodologies to biofuel research are provided.
