What to Focus On
- Programming helps manage large biological data efficiently.
- Linux is the main platform for many successful bioinformatics applications.
- PERL is important for sequence-based large data handling.
- Systems biology studies the whole system, not isolated parts.
- Mathematical and computational models are central to the field.
- System models help explain emergent properties.
- 1952: Hodgkin and Huxley described a model for action potential propagation.
- 1960: Denis Noble developed the first heart pacemaker computer model.
- 1966: Mesarovic formally launched systems biology.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Python is only useful for computer science and not for biology.
R is a general-purpose object oriented language like Python.
The name R was chosen randomly as a single letter.
Memory Tips
Python as a high level object oriented general purpose language
R as a functional programming language for analysis, visualization, and simulation
GEC as a rule based language for designing biological systems
