Course Content
Systems biology aims to study biological phenomena through the modeling of interactions and general system behavior rather than reducing to the individual parts. This course will cover the basic ideas, tools and contributions of the systems biology and biological network analysis. The subjects to be covered include: dynamics of biological networks; common motifs; network analysis, modeling and visualization methods; applications in transcription, protein interaction, metabolic and co-expression networks. The coursework involves in-class discussion of several case studies, a term project, homework assignments and exams.
