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.Mark BuchananGuido Caldarelliguido.caldarelli@imtlucca.itPaolo De Los RiosFrancesco RaoMichele Vendruscolo2012-01-26T10:23:28Z2012-01-26T10:23:28Zhttp://eprints.imtlucca.it/id/eprint/1082This item is in the repository with the URL: http://eprints.imtlucca.it/id/eprint/10822012-01-26T10:23:28ZA Networked WorldJust over a decade ago, in June 1998, a curious three-page paper appeared in Nature. In it, the authors - two applied mathematicians - reported a link between the structure of the US electrical grid and the wiring of a nematode worm's neural system. They also noted that these patterns were strikingly similar in their structure to the social networks of Hollywood actors, one of the few such networks for which the authors could find extensive data. It is hard to imagine a more bizarre melding of topics in one study.Mark BuchananGuido Caldarelliguido.caldarelli@imtlucca.it
