Systems biology is an interdisciplinary field that studies the interactions between the components of biological systems, and how these interactions give rise to the system’s function and behavior. It uses a holistic approach, moving beyond the study of individual genes or proteins to understand the complex networks and pathways that govern life. Key Characteristics / … Read more
Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. It’s a complex field that builds upon genomics (the study of genes) to understand how proteins work together in biological systems. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Protein Identification: Determining the specific proteins present in a sample. Protein Quantification: Measuring the abundance of each … Read more
Computational biology is an interdisciplinary field that uses computer science and mathematics to analyze and interpret biological data. It helps us understand complex biological systems. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Utilizes computer simulations and algorithms to model biological processes. Analyzes large datasets (genomics, proteomics) to find patterns and insights. Develops new tools and techniques for … Read more
