Abstract:
The developing of high throughput technology and cloud computing makes the modeling and simulation of complex biological systems possible and necessary. R is an open-source data analysis and statistics language and lots of extended open-source packages make R an extemely powerful tool for biological data analysis and computational systems study
This tutorial will introduce systems biology with R at the introductory level.

• Basic skills for R programming and Graphics
• Basic concepts for ordinary differential equation and biological kinetics
• Basic Introduction to Systems Biology Markup Language
• Case study for simulation and analysis of biological systems.

Speaker: Prof.Dr. Bairong SHEN, Center for Systems Biology, Soochow University, China
