An Introduction to Systems biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits

Publisher-supplied data] This book presents recently discovered design principles that govern the structure and behavior of biological networks such as gene circuits, highlighting simple, recurring circuit elements that make up the network. It provides a quantitative theory for which circuits are fo...
