This is the first book on the subject, providing a comprehensive introduction to complex network science and its biological applications. With contributions from key leaders in both network theory and modern cell biology, this book discusses the network science that is increasingly foundational for systems biology and the quantitative understanding of living systems. It surveys studies in the quantitative structure and dynamics of genetic regulatory networks, molecular networks underlying cellular metabolism, and other fundamental biological processes. The book balances empirical studies and theory to give a unified overview of this interdisciplinary science. It is a key introductory text for graduate students and researchers in physics, biology and biochemistry, and presents ideas and techniques from fields outside the reader's own area of specialization. date: 2010 date_type: published publisher: Cambridge University Press place_of_pub: Cambridge pages: 280 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780521882736 related_url_url: http://www.cambridge.org/gb/knowledge/isbn/item2709766/?site_locale=en_GB related_url_type: pub citation: Buchanan, Mark and Caldarelli, Guido and De Los Rios, Paolo and Rao, Francesco and Vendruscolo, Michele Networks in cell biology.
