Abstract
The goal of systems biology is to describe and quantitatively model complete biological systems. It is a reasonable goal to begin by developing quantitative models that accurately recapitulate many aspects of gene regulatory networks for some simple organisms. We consider here the advantages of using prokaryotic organisms as model systems in the initial development of such quantitative models. In addition, we discuss some of the benefits of studying stress responses in these organisms and illustrate some of the biological and theoretical complexities facing the analyses of dynamic biological systems.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
