Includes bibliographical references and index
This book is based on the proceedings of the inaugural symposium "Northwest Symposium for Systems Biology". Particular focus is on identifying current breakthrough technologies and their application to important model systems. By integrating computational sciences, high-throughput technologies and quantitative biology, this book will advance the understanding of not just the function of individual genes, proteins and smaller molecules like hormones, but also how all of these molecules interact within a cell. This volume will be a collection of presentations on four topics that comprise the scope of the Genomes to Life project recently announced by the Department of Energy. They are four aspects of a system biology approach to understanding microbial communities. These topics include complex microbial systems, gene regulatory networks, molecular machines/ multiprotein complexes and computational techniques
