This book treats systems biology and synthetic biology as complementary approaches. The genomic revolution has opened up systematic investigations and engineering designs for various life forms. Systems biology and synthetic biology are emerging as two complementary approaches, which embody the breakthrough inbiology and invite application of engineering principles. The book emphasizesthat there is great similarity of biology and engineering at the system level, despite the obviously different physical implementation, and that important research challenges in biology may have parallels with those in complex engineering systems. The similarity of engineering systems and biological systems forms a basis for the sound systems and engineering theories to be applied to solve systems biology problems. This book demonstrates that systems biology relies on synthetic biology technologies to perturb and monitor responses of the biological systems, while the synthetic biology depends on the knowledge obtained from systems biology approaches.
