What Is Systems Biology And How Does It Contribute To The Study Of Obesity?
Systems biology is the scientific analysis and modelling which displays systemic properties as well as dynamic interactions in biological objects. This holistic approach is used in a quantitative and qualitative manner by combining different experimental studies with mathematical modelling (Klipp et al., 2016). Systems biology can be used in order to establish the relationship between…

The Solutions Of Agricultural Biotechnology
It is without a doubt that biotechnology has deep roots within agriculture that go back 1000s of years. The carrots we eat today werent always orange nor were they nearly as soft as we know them to be, the characteristics we recognize today were the result of selective breeding. Agricultural biotechnology put simply is the…
