From genotype to phenotype - systems biology bridging the gap

该项目是国际科学前沿的基础研究，涉及现代生物学的一个基本问题：“基因如何决定生物体的组成？”主要结果将是对高等生物的内部工作机制有更深入的了解。该项目以一种新颖独特的方式结合了一些最先进的系统技术-基因组学，蛋白质组学，代谢组学，通量组学和计算生物学。这种结合本身就是科学方法的重大进步，将加速系统生物学领域的发现。在这方面，该项目是突破科学优先目标和国家研究优先前沿技术的首要例子。

This project is basic research at the forefront of international science and deals with a fundamental question of modern biology: 'How do genes determine the makeup of an organism?' The main outcome will be a deeper understanding of the internal working mechanisms of a higher organism. The project combines some of the most advanced systems technologies - genomics, proteomics, metabonomics, fluxomics and computational biology in a novel and unique way. This combination is in itself a major advancement of scientific methods that will accelerate discovery in the field of systems biology. In this respect, the project is a premier example of the priority goal Breakthrough Science and of the national research priority Frontier Technologies.
