本特刊由四份原创研究报告组成，是2013年8月7日至10日在美国新墨西哥州圣达菲圣约翰学院校园举行的第七届q-bio会议上发表的工作的一部分。q-bio会议是系统生物学社区的核心部分，专注于对细胞调控和相关过程动态的定量，机械理解。它是研究的年度旗舰会议，整合了建模，理论和定量实验方法，以理解这些复杂的生物现象与物理科学的定量严谨性。它是一个主要的系统生物学论坛，用于交流结果和想法，建立网络和继续教育。自2007年以来，q-bio会议一直在新墨西哥州圣达菲举行。社区组织的其他活动包括自2007年以来每年在新墨西哥州举行的q-bio暑期学校，以及自2012年以来在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥举行的q-bio冬季会议，以及自2013年以来在夏威夷举行的冬季q-bio会议，该会议每年在更广泛的q-bio领域内选择一个特定的焦点。感兴趣的读者可以通过阅读早期的社论[1-7]和最近的一篇观点文章[8]来追踪它的成长和范围的扩展，包括系统生物学与合成生物学、生态学和进化生物学以及结构生物学的交叉领域。本报告的重点是2013年会议本身。
This special issue consists of four original research reports, a subset of the work presented at The Seventh q-bio Conference, which took place 7–10 August 2013 on the campus of St John’s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. The q-bio Conference is central to the part of the systems biology community that focuses on quantitative, mechanistic understanding of the dynamics of cellular regulation and related processes. It is the annual flagship conference for research that integrates modeling, theoretical, and quantitative experimental approaches towards understanding these complex biological phenomena with the quantitative rigor of the physical sciences. It is a major systems biology forum for exchanging results and ideas, networking, and continued education in q-bio. The q-bio Conference has been held since 2007 in Santa Fe, NM. Additional events organized by the community include the q-bio summer school, held yearly in New Mexico since 2007, and, since 2012, also in San Diego, CA, and the winter q-bio meeting in Hawaii, held since 2013, which chooses a specific focus yearly within the broader q-bio field.The q-bio Conference has been discussed many times on the pages of this journal, and interested readers can trace its growth and the expansion of its scope to include fields at the intersection of systems biology with synthetic biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, and structural biology by reading earlier editorials [1–7] and a recent perspectives article [8]. Instead, the focus of this report is the 2013 conference itself.
