DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c007b0/methods_in_systems) has announced the addition of Elsevier Science and Technology's new report "Methods in Systems Biology" to their offering.

Systems biology is a term used to describe a number of trends in bioscience research, and a movement which draws on those trends. This volume in the Methods in Enzymology series comprehensively covers the methods in Systems Biology. With an international board of authors, this volume is split into sections that cover subjects such as Machines for systems biology, Protein production and quantification for Systems Biology, and Enzymatic Assays in Systems Biology Research.
