| Omics research characterizing a real biological system |
Omics research relies on data produced by high-throughput technologies and modeling; the ultimate goal is offering a system-level characterization of a real biological system. |
Biology-oriented |
| Database development |
This category involves the launch of databases storing genes, pathways, proteins, etc. It also involves standardization of data and procedures, such as the Systems Biology Markup Language. |
Systems-oriented |
| Software development |
Software is developed to process, analyze, and visualize large data. |
Systems-oriented |
| Network properties |
These properties include robustness, dynamics, stochasticity, and emergent network properties that can be applied to every system, not just biological systems. The work is mostly mathematical and theoretical. |
