Thorough and accessible, this book presents the design principles of biological systems, and highlights the recurring circuit elements that make up biological networks. It provides a simple mathematical framework which can be used to understand and even design biological circuits. The text avoids specialist terms, focusing instead on several well-studied biological systems that concisely demonstrate key principles. "An Introduction to Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits" builds a solid foundation for the intuitive understanding of general principles. It encourages the reader to ask why a system is designed in a particular way and then proceeds to answer with simplified models.

Evolution can be fast. Mutations can occur at a comparatively high rate. A single bacterium in 10ml culture grows and divides to reach saturation of 10^10 cells in less than a day. Since mutation rate is 10^(-9) per base-pair per generation, up to saturation, the bacterial population reach 10 mutation per base-pair. If we treat mutation as randomized force, which abolishes edges in gene regulatory graph, evolutionarily conserved edges preserve fitness to the organism. Autoregulation, including positive and negative autoregulations, are over-represented in E.coli transcription network. Parameters of such autoregulation are under natural selection. Negative repression efficiently and robustly lock the gene into steady-state expression. Presence of such repression reduces cell-cell variation. Positive autoregulation is slower than unregulated gene. Such slow dynamics can be useful in relatively long developmental processes.

While activation/repression graph reveals a qualitative dynamics of simple circuits, further consideration has to be done on separation of time scale of different cellular processes. For stable proteins, especially protein assuming static structural roles, which do not belong to response module to external signals, have a response time similar to that of a cell generation time.

Appendix C - Graph Properties of Transcription Networks sparse connectivity: Transcription networks are sparse, since ratio of existing edges and theoretical upper limit of edges << 1. Typically, less than 0.1% of possible edges are found in the network. degree distribution: Typically mean degree is 2 to 10 edges/node. Out-degree distribution can be approximately described as a power law, i.e. P(k) ~ k^(-r), with r ~ 1 to 2. Transcription network often have many transcription factors regulate a few genes, fewer nodes that regulate tens of genes, and even fewer global regulators that regulate hundreds of genes. Global regulators usually respond to key environmental signal to control large ensembles of genes, e.g. bacteria CRP to glucose starvation, RpoS respond to general stress. In-degree distribution instead resembles compact distribution such as Poisson distribution. This may correspond in part to physical limitation that promoters are short in simple organisms. In more complex organisms, DNA looping action can increase the number of input transcription factors to a given gene. Higher organisms often display larger in-degrees than microorganisms, accommodating the complex computational needed during development. motifs: Clustering coefficient C is the average number of triangles that a node participates in. Feed-forward loop (a type of triangle) is generally overrepresented in motifs of sensory transcription networks. The major contribution to the clustering coefficient therefore stems from feed-forward loops. This pattern appears to be selected due to its function, such as filtering and response acceleration. Generally, it appears that global statistical properties of biological network such as degree sequences and cluster sequences are the result of selection working on the detailed circuit patterns in each individual system. Different networks have different selection constraints, which must be understood in order to understand their graphical properties. modularity: Network modularity is the degree to which it can be separated into nearly independent sub-networks. A measure of modularity is proposed by Newman and Girvan, 2004 and 2005. The rationale of this modularity measure is that: a good partition of a network into modules must comprise many within-modular edges and as few as possible between-module edges. This is achieved by maximizing a modularity measure Q.

有之前读“mathematical physiology”的经验,这本书读起来轻松多了。大量的生物网络和工程设计的类比很有意思,并且基本每个小部分都涉及到了一点哲学性的“为什么”的讨论。而这些类比只是为了让一些模型更容易被理解。最后几章逐渐上升到了一种对生物系统演化过程的“思考方式”,很值得琢磨。
