“ Organisms function in an integrated manner-our senses, our muscles, our metabolism and our minds work together seamlessly. But biologists have historically studied organisms part by part and celebrated the modern ability to study them molecule by molecule, gene by gene. Systems biology is critical science of future that seeks to understand the integration of the pieces to form biological systems”
(David Baltimore, Nobel Laureate)

Any FOOD for thoughts………..
Complex Systems
Complicated!!…….Why?How can we make sense of this complexity?Can we convey our understanding of this complexity?
Molecular Biology vs. Systems BiologyMolecular biology- biomolecule structure and function is studied at the molecular levelSystems biology- specific interactions of components in the biological system are studied – cells, tissues, organs, and ecological webs ◦ Integrative approach in
which scientists study pathways and networks, will touch all areas of biology, including drug discovery
Era of Molecular Biology (1953 –2001)

(http://www.biomedcentral.com/bmcsystbiol/)
Systems Biologystudy of an organism, viewed as an integrated and interacting network of genes, proteins and biochemical reactions which give rise to life. Looking at the whole system rather than at components, such as sugar metabolism or a cell nucleusCompleteness is a recent aspectMathematics/modelling-essentialWhole>Sum of parts: Give Rise Emerging propertiesProperties ‘arise’ from components interaction
(Interactomics!!)
Details are now clearer…….
Top-down and bottom-up approach
(Bruggeman and Westerhoff, 2006)
BOTTOM UP
Challenged Vs. Control
Deductive: From known properties of components, system functions deduced. Properties emerge from interaction of the components.
TOP DOWN
Inductive: From how the system reacts to the perturbations. One infers which components are critical and how the system may function
Omics (the bottom-up approach) focuses on the identification and global measurement of molecular components. Modeling (the top-down approach) attempts to form integrative (across scales) models of animal physiology and disease, although with current technologies, such modeling focuses on relatively specific questions at particular scales, e.g., at the pathway or organ levels. An intermediate approach, with the potential to bridge the two, is to generate profiling data from high-throughput assays for biological complexity, interacting active pathways, intercommunicating cell types and different environments at multiple levels
(Butcher et al., 2004)

Technologies to study systems at different levels
Genomics (HT-DNA sequencing)Mutation detection (SNP methods)Transcriptomics (Gene/Transcript measurement, SAGE, gene chips, microarrays)Proteomics (MS, 2D-PAGE, protein chips, Yeast-2-hybrid, X-ray, NMR)Metabolomics (NMR, X-ray, capillary electrophoresis)
study of organisms in terms of their DNA sequences, or 'genomes'
Genomics
Study of total set of transcripts in a given organism, or to the specific subset of transcripts present in a particular cell type
Transcriptomics
(Soares and Valcárcel, 2006)
Proteomics
Large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions
Bioinformatics
Data
Bioinformatics
Research, development, or application of computational tools and approaches for expanding the use of biological, medical, behavioural or health data, including those to acquire, store, organize, archive, analyze, or visualize such data
Metabolomics
systematic study of the unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind" - specifically, the study of their small-molecule metabolite profiles.
Networks among genes involved in milk fat synthesis
( Bionaz and Loor, 2008)
Genome-wide reconstruction of the regulatory and metabolic network in a sequenced organism….. Gives only static information
(Weckwerth, 2011)

Integromics approach in the Systems Roadmap
(Sauer et al., 2007)
Integrative Process
The ML ensure that models are encoded in a consistent form and allow simulation packages to import the models in a standard format
Accessing information using ontologies and web databases that contain models encoded in ML
Integrative computational platform for the analysis and mining of genomics data
CGH
The functional sequelae of SNPs and the consequences of alterations in transcript levels can not be routinely predicted in a comprehensive manner
The amount of protein does not necessarily correlate with enzyme activity or protein function due to multiple posttranslational modifications and compartmentation
Examination of whole cell or tissue extracts are not necessarily indicative of the physical interactions between moieties
Challenges in Integrating the "Omics" to Identify Mechanisms Underlying Common Diseases
Data management:Clear indication of the source and context of the dataMeaningful identifiers (everybody’s proud of their clever system that nobody else uses) Accessible data sources
Models / Methods to interpret the dataAn honest assessment of the benefits and limits of various modeling approachesA realistic assessment of the near-term capabilities of current modeling approaches.
What is Needed in integromics approach ?
The ability to understand the limits of the data and models
Complexity of mammalian systems"As the complexity of the variable increases, it becomes more important to have a solid model of what you think you can predict and to then test it explicitly, rather than less important as the machine learning enthusiasts would have it"
(Michael Bittner, Tgen)
What is Needed in integromics approach ?
System heterogeneity in size and timescale

Molecular Scale1.0 - 10 nmInteraction data10 ns - 10 msInteractions
Cellular Scale10 - 100 nmConcentrationsDiffusion rates10 ms - 1000 sFluid dynamics
System heterogeneity in size and timescale
Tissue Scale0.01m - 1.0 mMetabolic inputMetabolic output1 s – 1 hrProcess flow
Organism scale0.01m – 4.0 mBehaviorsHabitats1 hr – 100 yrsMechanics
Ecosystem scale1 km – 1000 kmEnvironmental impactNutrient flow1 yr – 1000 yrsNetwork Dynamics
Each of the scales does not fit together seamlessly
If one scale (e.g., protein-protein interactions) behaves deterministically and with isolated components, then we can use plug-n-play approaches
If it behaves chaotically or stochastically, then we cannot
Most biological systems lie between this deterministic order and chaos: Complex systems
High level of biological organization. Traits broader than in human medicine:
Productivity, product quality, disease resistance, fertility, behaviour, welfare, footprint
Divergently selected lines that differ quantitatively in specific traits.
Samples from tissues, blood or other body fluids (milk) from a large number of animals with well-documented management, and performance recordings are available
In Animal Sciences……..
Understand underlying mechanisms of complex traits, and genotype environment-phenotype relationships
Fill the gap between genotype and phenotype: ‘Deep’ phenotyping.
“predictive biology”; Biomarkers for product quality or health issues
Technology development
Nanotechnology and microfluidic devices
High thoroughput and inexpensive genome sequencing
tech.
Improved computational approaches to modeling and
simulation
Advances in basic biological concept
elucidate a catalogue, or “periodic chart” of modules that
cells typically use to perform basic biological processes
PROMISE FOR FUTURE
Practical Applications: targeted prediction and control
P4 Medicine (predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory medicine) : goals-
Stratification of diseases and patient populations for specific diagnosis and more effective treatment More rational drug design for improved efficacy and decreased side effects Use of genetic information to determine probable health history and blood biomarker diagnostic tests.
“The blood will become a window into health and disease”
Restoration of a disease-perturbed network to its normal state by genetic or pharmacological intervention
Understanding of genes and mechanisms involved in estrous behavior, estrus regulation and milk or meat production
Can unveil dynamic cellular networks that provide an important framework for drug discovery and design. The future of drug target discovery is going to be understanding the dynamics of disease-perturbed networks
Targeting bacterial protective pathways that are induced to remediate reactive oxygen species damage, and in particular manipulating the DNA damage repair pathways, becomes, therefore, one potential approach to potentiate the effect of antibiotics.
small molecules could be produced that would lead to the creation of super-Cipro, super-Gentamicin, or super-Ampicillin
Insight into bacterial cell death pathways and protective mechanisms induced by antibiotics. Network-based analyses will lead to the development of novel, more effective antibiotics, as well as ways to enhance existing antibacterial drugs. These efforts will be critical in our ongoing fight against antibiotic resistance
Embracing Complexity
“Solving the puzzle of complex diseases, from obesity to cancer, will require holistic understanding of the interplay between factors such as genetics, diet, infectious agents, environment, behavior, and social structures.”
(Elias Zerhouni, The NIH Roadmap, Science2003, 302:63- 64)
“Our brains are wired for narrative, not statistical
uncertainty.”
