Aims & Scope

IET Systems Biology covers intra- and inter-cellular dynamics, using systems- and signal-oriented approaches. Papers that analyse genomic data in order to identify variables and basic relationships between them are considered if the results provide a basis for mathematical modelling and simulation of cellular dynamics. Manuscripts on molecular and cell biological studies are encouraged if the aim is a systems approach to dynamic interactions within and between cells. The scope includes the following topics: Genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, cells, tissue and the physiome; molecular and cellular interaction, gene, cell and protein function; networks and pathways; metabolism and cell signalling; dynamics, regulation and control; systems, signals, and information; experimental data analysis; mathematical modelling, simulation and theoretical analysis; biological modelling, simulation, prediction and control; methodologies, databases, tools and algorithms for modelling and simulation; modelling, analysis and control of biological networks; synthetic biology and bioengineering based on systems biology.
