| Complex systems biology (CSB) is a branch or subfield of mathematical and theoretical biology concerned with complexity of both structure and function in biological organisms, as well as the emergence and evolution of organisms and species, with emphasis being placed on the complex interactions of, and within, bionetworks, and on the fundamental relations and relational patterns that are essential to life. CSB is thus a field of theoretical sciences aimed at discovering and modeling the relational patterns essential to life that has only a partial overlap with complex systems theory, and also with the systems approach to biology called systems biology; this is because the latter is restricted primarily to simplified models of biological organization and organisms, as well as to only a general consideration of philosophical or semantic questions related to complexity in biology. Moreover, a wide range of abstract theoretical complex systems are studied as a field of applied mathematics, with or without relevance to biology, chemistry or physics. | | Complex systems biology (CSB) is a branch or subfield of mathematical and theoretical biology concerned with complexity of both structure and function in biological organisms, as well as the emergence and evolution of organisms and species, with emphasis being placed on the complex interactions of, and within, bionetworks, and on the fundamental relations and relational patterns that are essential to life.

− | 复杂系统生物学(Complex system biology, CSB)是数学和理论生物学的一个分支或子领域,研究生物有机体结构和功能的复杂性,以及生物和物种的出现与进化,重点研究生物网络及其内部的复杂相互作用,以及对生命至关重要的基本关系和关系模式。因此,CBS是一个理论科学领域,旨在发现和建模生命所必需的关系模式,它只与复杂系统理论有部分重叠,也与生物学的系统方法称为系统生物学;这是因为后者主要局限于生物组织和有机体的简化模型,以及对与生物学复杂性相关的哲学或语义问题的一般性考虑。此外,广泛的抽象理论复杂系统被作为应用数学的一个领域进行研究,无论其是否与生物学、化学或物理相关。 | + | <font color="#ff8000"> 复杂系统生物学(Complex system biology, CSB)</font>是数学和理论生物学的一个分支或子领域,研究生物有机体结构和功能的复杂性,以及生物和物种的出现与进化,重点研究生物网络及其内部的复杂相互作用,以及对生命至关重要的基本关系和关系模式。因此,CBS是一个理论科学领域,旨在发现和建模生命所必需的关系模式,它只与复杂系统理论有部分重叠,也与生物学的系统方法称为系统生物学;这是因为后者主要局限于生物组织和有机体的简化模型,以及对与生物学复杂性相关的哲学或语义问题的一般性考虑。此外,广泛的抽象理论复杂系统被作为应用数学的一个领域进行研究,无论其是否与生物学、化学或物理相关。 |
