Abstract
The field of systems biology has received considerable attention lately, but it is not easy to define or to enter. The book An Introduction to Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits by Uri Alon greatly facilitates both. In particular, it combines fundamental concepts on biological networks with an introduction to their formal analysis, using a wide array of biological examples. The book’s intention is not to cover everything about systems biology—rather, it provides an original, pointed, and very intelligible essence of the field.
