MOLECULAR NETWORKS IN MODEL SYSTEMS

Abstract

▪ Abstract Model organisms, especially the budding yeast, are leading systems in the transformation of biology into an information science. With the availability of genome sequences and genome-scale data generation technologies, the extraction of biological insight from complex integrated molecular networks has become a major area of research. Here I examine key concepts and review research developments. I propose specific areas of research effort to drive network analysis in directions that will promote modeling with increasing predictive power.
