Description
Springer Power Laws Scale-Free Networks And Genome Biology by Koonin Eugene V. Et.Al
Power Laws Scale-Free Networks And Genome Biology Deals With Crucial Aspects Of The Theoretical Foundations Of Systems Biology Namely Power Law Distributions And Scale-Free Networks Which Have Emerged As The Hallmarks Of Biological Organization In The Post-Genomic Era. The Chapters In The Book Not Only Describe The Interesting Mathematical Properties Of Biological Networks But Moves Beyond Phenomenology Toward Models Of Evolution Capable Of Explaining The Emergence Of These Features. The Collection Of Chapters Contributed By Both Physicists And Biologists Strives To Address The Problems In This Field In A Rigorous But Not Excessively Mathematical Manner And To Represent Different Viewpoints Which Is Crucial In This Emerging Discipline. Each Chapter Includes In Addition To Technical Descriptions Of Properties Of Biological Networks And Evolutionary Models A More General And Accessible Introduction To The Respective Problems. Most Chapters Emphasize The Potential Of Theoretical Systems Biology For Discovery Of New Biological Phenomena.Show More
