Melham (2013) Modelling, abstraction, and computation in systems biology: A view from computer science. Prog Biophys Mol Biol 111:129-36. (pmid: 22975313)

[ PubMed ] [ DOI ] Abstract Systems biology is centrally engaged with computational modelling across multiple scales and at many levels of abstraction. Formal modelling, precise and formalised abstraction relationships, and computation also lie at the heart of computer science--and over the past decade a growing number of computer scientists have been bringing their discipline's core intellectual and computational tools to bear on biology in fascinating new ways. This paper explores some of the apparent points of contact between the two fields, in the context of a multi-disciplinary discussion on conceptual foundations of systems biology.
