生物谷按：功能基因組和功能蛋白質組學的研究為人類揭示生命活動的本質提供了強有力的工具,，然而我們也應看到當前的研究還存在很大的局限性,，如何通過這些復雜數(shù)據(jù),，采用何種有效的分析策略揭示生物活動的本質特征,，揭示細胞活動網(wǎng)絡的動力學特征,，是未來二十年內科學家思考最多的問題之一,。如細胞信號轉導根本不是我們現(xiàn)階段認識的單一途徑和模式,，也不是線性化的,，而是一個復雜調控的網(wǎng)絡體系，這個網(wǎng)絡體系是一個復雜的動態(tài)平衡系統(tǒng),，它能將外界的信息快速有效傳遞到細胞內,，然后對該信號產(chǎn)生應激，同時這個系統(tǒng)會將該刺激信息作為一個信息會記憶和儲存在這個系統(tǒng)中,。這篇文章提出了初步的看法,。

Systems biology is the iterative and integrative study of biological systems as systems in response to perturbations. It is founded on hypotheses formalized in models built from the results of global functional genomics analyses of the complexity of the genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, etc. Its implementation by cross-disciplinary teams in a standardized mode under quality assurance should allow accessing the small variations of the large number of elements determining functioning of biological systems. Galactose utilization in yeast, and sea urchin development are two examples of emerging systems biology.
