Welcome to BMC Systems Biology published by BioMed Central
BMC Systems Biology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in systems-level analysis of biological events, whether experimental or theoretical, at the level of molecules, cells or organisms. The journal especially welcomes quantitative analyses and those that integrate different levels of information to understand how biological systems function or can be perturbed, as well as articles involving the modeling or engineering of biological systems, and synthetic biology.
BMC Systems Biology (ISSN 1752-0509) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Zoological Record, Thomson Scientific (ISI) and Google Scholar.
BMC Systems Biology 2008, 2 :20
A new model of the Bacillus subtilis central metabolism identifies a set of locally regulated modules coordinated by global regulators and suggests that metabolite pools play an important role in regulation.
