Systems biology strikes gold.
Integrating synthetic biology and systems biology efforts can advance our understanding of biomolecular systems. This is illustrated in this issue by Cantone et al. (2009), who construct a synthetic gene network in yeast and use it to assess and benchmark systems biology approaches for reverse engineering endogenous gene networks.
