Molecular Systems Biology

Systems biology is an integrative discipline that seeks to explain the properties and behaviour of complex biological systems in terms of their components and their interactions. Molecular Systems Biology is a peer-reviewed open access journal that publishes high-quality research in the fields of systems biology, synthetic biology and systems medicine. The Editors select manuscripts based on their novelty and wide biological significance. Although the primary emphasis of the journal is on molecular components and their interactions, systems studies at the organ level may also be considered. Works describing large-scale datasets will be judged, in part, by the extent to which these datasets are integrated both with each other and with computational models, with the ultimate aim to better understand the dynamic and complex nature of living systems. Reports of new experimental methods will also be considered in the context of this policy.

系统生物学是一门综合学科，它试图从复杂生物系统的组成和相互作用的角度来解释复杂生物系统的特性和行为。分子系统生物学是一个同行评审的开放获取期刊，出版高质量的研究领域的系统生物学，合成生物学和系统医学。编辑根据稿件的新颖性和广泛的生物学意义来选择稿件。虽然该杂志的主要重点是分子组成及其相互作用，但也可考虑在器官一级进行系统研究。描述大型数据集的作品将在一定程度上通过这些数据集彼此之间以及与计算模型的集成程度来进行评判，最终目的是更好地理解生命系统的动态和复杂本质。新实验方法的报告也将在这项政策的范围内加以审议。
