So what is Systems Biology?
10
The definition The types of biological information (DNA, RNA, protein, protein interactions, biomolecules, cells, tissues, etc.) also have their individual elements (e.g. specific genes or proteins) and the relationships of these with respect to one another and the elements of other types of biological information must be determined, all of this information integrated to obtain a view (model) of the system as a whole.

23
System Biology The quantitative study of biological processes as integrated systems rather than as isolated parts. The aim is to understand the interactions between the myriad of sub-cellular components.
24
The traditionally separated scientific disciplines, including physical chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell physiology and the behaviour of multicellular organisms, are unified by quantitative models. Advance techniques for global measurements of subcellular dynamics of gene expression, proteins, and metabolites will be applied. The progress will be crucial for a molecular understanding of many diseases and for development of novel biotechnological applications.
