Reviews
"[This textbook] offers a truly authoritative treatment of genome-scale systems biology modelling. [It] covers all aspects of this rapidly growing field from theory to basic and applied uses, also detailing open challenges with an emphasis on the multitude of constraint-based approaches by which phenotypic behavior can be inferred from biochemical wiring diagrams. The book is generously illustrated by figures and despite its great depth and breadth, it remains readily accessible ... researchers [will find it] a go-to guide for many years to come." Balzs Papp, Biological Research Centre, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, "... a very important and novel contribution to the systems biology literature. The field of systems biology is still in the phase of being defined as an independent field with a clear curriculum, but Palsson gives his very clear contributions to this. His definition of the paradigm of systems biology as components, networks, computer models and physiology is clearly explained and linked to educational modules, educational values and specific prerequisites. Thus, not only is he providing a fantastic novel textbook that enables teaching about network reconstruction and analysis, but he is also clearly defining this as the core of systems biology. I am therefore confident that the very well thought through structure of this textbook, where the reader is introduced to the different layers of network reconstruction and analysis, will be widely used for teaching systems biology worldwide." Jens Nielsen, Chalmers University of Technology, "One of the defining challenges of systems biology is to determine the structures and mechanisms by which complex networks of genes, proteins and metabolites control cell processes and molecular dynamics. Bernhard Palsson is a leading pioneer in constructing and analyzing genome-scale models of such networks. Here Palsson offers students an insider's guided tour of the concepts, principles and techniques underlying this emerging field. The book is brilliantly laid out and offers professors well-structured, much-needed material for a graduate-level course in systems biology and network science." James J. Collins, MIT, Broad Institute and Wyss Institute, "This is a real tour de force. With enormous clarity, Bernhard Palsson sets out the what, why and how of network and systems biology, and of the important role of genome-wide reconstructions - especially, to date, of metabolism - in realising it ... this is a masterful survey of the field by one of its leading practitioners. The development is nicely logical ... If you are interested in network biology at all, then this book is for you." Douglas Kell, University of Manchester, "One of the defining challenges of systems biology is to determine the structures and mechanisms by which complex networks of genes, proteins and metabolites control cell processes and molecular dynamics. Bernhard Palsson is a leading pioneer in constructing and analyzing genome-scale models of such networks.

Synopsis
Reflecting the latest developments, this textbook explains how quantitative and computable genotype-phenotype relationships can be built using a genome-wide basis of information about the gene portfolio of an organism. It has been developed through extensive classroom use, providing a conceptual framework in addition to invaluable modelling tools and computational approaches., Recent technological advances have enabled comprehensive determination of the molecular composition of living cells. The chemical interactions between many of these molecules are known, giving rise to genome-scale reconstructed biochemical reaction networks underlying cellular functions. Mathematical descriptions of the totality of these chemical interactions lead to genome-scale models that allow the computation of physiological functions. Reflecting these recent developments, this textbook explains how such quantitative and computable genotype-phenotype relationships are built using a genome-wide basis of information about the gene portfolio of a target organism. It describes how biological knowledge is assembled to reconstruct biochemical reaction networks, the formulation of computational models of biological functions, and how these models can be used to address key biological questions and enable predictive biology. Developed through extensive classroom use, the book is designed to provide students with a solid conceptual framework and an invaluable set of modeling tools and computational approaches.

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
