Abstract | Introduction to experimental and computational methods of systems biology. By using baker’s yeast as a thread through the series, we focus on global methods for analysis of and interference with biological functions. Illustrative applications to other organisms will highlight medical and biotechnological aspects. | ||||
Learning objective | - obtain an overview of global analytical methods - obtain an overview of computational methods in systems biology - understand the concepts of systems biology | ||||
Content | Overview of global analytical methods (e.g. DNA arrays, proteomics, metabolomics, fluxes etc), global interference methods (siRNA, mutant libraries, synthetic lethality etc.) and imaging methods. Introduction to mass spectrometry and proteomics. Concepts of metabolism in microbes and higher cells. Systems biology of developmental processes. Concepts of mathematical modeling and applications of computational systems biology. | ||||
Lecture notes | no script | ||||
Literature | The course is not taught by a particular book, but some books are suggested for further reading: - Systems biology in Practice by Klipp, Herwig, Kowald, Wierling und Lehrach. Wiley-VCH 2005 |
