On the tracks of Systems Biology

Abstract Systems biology is a potential new branch of biology with roots in many other fields such as biology, physics, mathematics, and computer science. Accordingly, this is a manifestation of mathematical biology and endeavors to understand complex systems, such as networks of genes, as interacting systems’ components.  In this paper, we analyze the field from a literature review framework; the author is passive in the review. Further, we conclude that systems biology is a potential field for contributing to the new horizons of science, especially biomedical sciences; also the weakness of systems biology is that it is not commonly mentioned in traditional books in biology, even recently published. Nonetheless, as the literature claims, this field might be the bridge for making biology, especially genetics, a source of ideas and principles for other fields, such as biomechanics; and simultaneously an example for other fields of biomedical sciences that mathematics, physics and other branch indeed can enhance those with new insights and methods.
