Systems biology refers to the study of the behavior and interactions of the components of biological entities such as cells, organisms, molecules and organs. It seeks to comprehend entire biological systems functioning as a unit instead of only focusing on their individual components. Systems biology combines mathematical modeling, statistics and bioinformatics to analyze and integrate large amounts of data. This analysis helps in better understanding the biology of the given biological systems and helps in predicting the behavior of biological systems. There are three basic concepts that are critical for comprehending complex biological systems, namely, their emergence, robustness and modularity. Systems biology utilizes a variety of quantitative experimental and computational methods for deriving information flow from proteins, genes and other subcellular components. These methods help in determining the signaling, regulatory and functional pathways that control organ, cell, tissue and organismal level functions. This book aims to shed light on the role of systems biology in animal science. Its extensive content will provide the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
