An Introduction to Systems Biology
Book description
Praise for the first edition:
... superb, beautifully written and organized work that takes an engineering approach to systems biology. Alon provides nicely written appendices to explain the basic mathematical and biological concepts clearly and succinctly without interfering with the main text.

Why read it?
1 author picked An Introduction to Systems Biology as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Of the various books available on this subject, I very much prefer this one because it makes it far easier to do systems biology.
First, it shows you how to view biological regulatory processes as a set of interacting components and their effect on each other. This alone can give clues to the behaviour of the system under different circumstances. However, it then goes on to show how these processes can be defined mathematically, which then enables us to get a quantitative view of what is going on.
When the predicted and observed numbers don’t match, we know that there…
