Recognizing the Patients Phenotype through Systems Biology

Bizzarri M and Palombo A

One of the perhaps most awkward results of the Genome Project was that the number of genes is much lower than had been expected and is, in fact, surprisingly similar for very different organisms. It is therefore clear that the biological complexity of organisms is not reflected merely by the number of genes but by the number of physiologically relevant interactions, spanning across different levels as they are not restricted to cell’s networks
