Abstract
Synchronized oscillations play an important role in many biological systems. In recent years, much work has been done on oscillating biomolecular systems, both experimentally and theoretically. A better insight into oscillation mechanisms, coupling strategies and related biological processes is gained by quantitative analysis. Here we summarized some of recent work on oscillation and synchronization in biological systems and reviewed the basic concepts of synchronization of coupled oscillators and dynamics on complex networks.
期刊介绍:
The Open Bioinformatics Journal is an Open Access online journal, which publishes research articles, reviews/mini-reviews, letters, clinical trial studies and guest edited single topic issues in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology. The coverage includes biomedicine, focusing on large data acquisition, analysis and curation, computational and statistical methods for the modeling and analysis of biological data, and descriptions of new algorithms and databases. The Open Bioinformatics Journal, a peer reviewed journal, is an important and reliable source of current information on the developments in the field. The emphasis will be on publishing quality articles rapidly and freely available worldwide.
