This paper describes an excellent example of the research approaches taken in systems biology. After generating a genome-scale model of Escherichia coli biochemical pathways, Palsson and his group made predictions regarding the phenotypes of biochemical mutants. These predictions led to hypotheses that were tested by examining the phenotype experimentally and, if necessary, the model was adjusted to account for discrepancies with empirical observations. The improved model was then used to predict further biochemical phenotypes, which were also investigated experimentally, thus resulting in an iterative process of mathematical modeling, hypothesis testing and model optimization.

These authors have used a combination of computational and experimental approaches to assess the functional fate of genes that arose through gene-duplication events. They observed that (at least) four mechanisms can play substantial roles in maintaining duplicate genes in the genome and might lead to sub- and neofunctionalization.

Functional genomics by integrated analysis of metabolome and transcriptome of Arabidopsis plants over-expressing an MYB transcription factor. Plant J 42 (2005) 218-235. This work exemplifies the utilization of integrative approaches for gene discovery. By combining evidence from metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses of Arabidopsis plants that overexpress the gene encoding a global regulator of anthocyanin production, the authors identified candidate genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis, the functional role of which was established through biochemical assays.
