Biological pathways
- metabolic- breakdown of molecules
- signaling- transmission of info. from outside to inside the cell
- Gene regulatory- controls gene activity
- these pathways create functional modules, that make up the large scale organization of the cell (universality). These universal traits, found through the organisms genome, can lead to mathematical modeling for the cell's reaction to the environment.
Microarray technology
- red/green ratio = (signal-background red)/(signal-background green)
