Concepts and Techniques in OMICS and Systems Biology provides a concise and lucid account on the technical aspects of omics, system biology and their application in fields of different life science. With a strong focus on the fundamental principles understanding of metabolomics, ionomics and system biology, the book also gives an updated account on technical aspects of omics and system biology. Since both omics and systems biology fields are fast advancing filed of biological sciences, its significance and applications need to be understood from the baseline. In 10 chapters Concepts and Techniques in OMICS and Systems Biology introduces the reader to both Proteomics, Metabolomics and Ionomics, and System Biology, the technical applications, describes both the software in for proteomics as metabolomic enumeration and preludes Omics technologies and their applications. The chapters are designed in a well-defined chronology such that readers will understand the concepts and techniques involved in omics and system biology. This compilation will be ideal reading material for students, researchers and people working in the industries related to biological sciences.
