英文摘要：

Computational systems biology is a multi-disciplinary field which aims at simulating the interactions of complex biological systems by integrating large quantities of biological data.In this process,it is essential to develop appropriate mathematical methods and simulation tools,which is also a main task of computational systems biology.The modeling of biological networks is of great value for further understanding the intrinsic properties of biological systems.Additionally,biological models have drawn increasing attention from pharma-ceutical companies and research institutions for their application in target identification,toxicity assessment and so on.This review provides a brief summary of the available biological networks and modeling methods,elucidates their applications,and points out further challenges remaining in computational systems biology.
