Treatment of helicobacter pylori, clostridium difficile, macrolide resistant S. pneumonia, and serious...
Genome sequences are now available that enable us to determine the biological components that make up a cell or an organism. The new discipline of systems biology examines how these components interact and form networks, and how the networks generate whole cell functions corresponding to observable phenotypes. This textbook describes how to model...
