Network biology is a science that deals with the structure, function, regulation (control), design, and application, etc., of various biological networks. It is an interdisciplinary science based on life sciences (biology, ecology, medicine, etc.), mathematics and computational science (graph theory, network science, differential equations, computation methods, programming, etc.), systems science (complexity theory, selforganizology, etc.), and statistics, etc (Zhang, 2018).

This is the first comprehensive, methodological and self-contained tutorial on Network Biology, mainly based on the book, Fundamentals of Network Biology (Zhang WJ. World Scientific Europe, London, 2018), etc.

The tutorial will be added continuously with new chapters and sections in the future. Users are suggested to often check and download the latest tutorial of more content. The tutorial was edited on Windows Server 2008 platform and may exhibit different appearance on other platforms. So users can adjust the presentation contents to yield a better appearance.

Users are encouraged to sponsor Network Biology undergraduate or postgraduate courses based on this tutorial, and welcome to contact the author, WenJun Zhang (wjzhang@iaees.org), for further affairs, or for providing suggestions.

The tutorial is an open access one and is subject to continuous updation and improvement from users. It is defined as the 1st edition of the Tutorial of Network Biology. Users are encouraged to improve, distribute and disseminate the tutorial anywhere.
