Engineering Genetic Circuits

Beschreibung

Highlighting modeling, analysis, and design methods for systems biology, this book discusses how to examine experimental data to learn about mathematical models, develop efficient abstraction and simulation methods to analyze these models, and use analytical methods to design new circuits. It reviews basic molecular biology and biochemistry principles, covers several methods for modeling and analyzing genetic circuits, and uses phage lambda as an example throughout. It also explores the emerging area of synthetic biology. iBioSim software, lecture slides, and a password-protected solutions manual are available on the author's website.

Rezensionen

"This book by Professor Myers is one of the few texts in the area that gently brings the uninitiated to these edges. I congratulate him for his achievement-Engineering Genetic Circuits admirably touches on much of the 'required' knowledge while creating a minimal toolset with which beginning students can confidently venture into this exciting new territory of systems biology."
-From the Foreword, Adam Arkin, University of California, Berkeley, USA

"Prof. Myers' book will be an excellent reference for any course in systems biology ... . I find the many illustrations (worked-out examples and ample number of figures) and exercises at the end of each chapter quite useful and important."
-Baltazar Aguda, The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA
