An Introduction to Systems Biology: Design Principles of Biological Circuits by Uri Alon is an English-language textbook on systems biology. Suitable for higher education students, it offers insight into the design principles that govern biological networks and circuits.
The second edition covers fundamental concepts and network motifs in systems biology. The book is rich in exercises (189) and includes new chapters on recent developments. It clearly describes the structure and behavior of biological systems, with an emphasis on recurring circuit elements that determine cellular regulation.
This textbook is written for students and researchers and connects to topics such as computational biology, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling. The content is practice-oriented and supports understanding of biological regulatory networks from a quantitative perspective.
