Networking opportunities for bacteria.
In this post-genomic era, our capacity to explore biological networks and predict network architectures has been greatly expanded, accelerating interest in systems biology. Here, we highlight recent systems biology studies in prokaryotes, consider the challenges ahead, and suggest opportunities for future studies in bacterial models.
