"How to"

Systems biology is mostly a process through which biological question are properly addressed so that the data that are generated will be able to fuel the « virtuous circle », and notable the modeling phase. It is of paramount importance that scientists willing to engage into such a process do so at the earliest possible time point during their projects.

 

You will find below a couple of references that we hope you might find useful BEFORE embarking on a new project. Please note that some of those references might also be helpful for more advanced colleagues, and help them formalizing the process. Such references might be especially helpful for young students willing to engage into systems level projects.
