<Computer abstraction layer>[Just like computers], biological systems can be seen as being composed of several different layers of complexity.

Level of organization of bodies

{wiki}

Studies biology from a more global point of view, if putting all little pieces of an organism make up the final biological function.

Some key activities:
* in <computational biology>:
  * <whole cell simulation>
  * <whole organism simulation>
* <single cell analysis>


Systems biology

{wiki}

* <prokaryote> models:
  * <E. Coli>: the most well studied
  * <mycoplasma>: a very minimal <genus>, notable species: <Mycoplasma genitalium>
* <eukaryote>
  * <S. cerevisiae>: simplest <eukaryote> model. <Unicellular>.
  * <C. elegans>: simplest <multicellular organism> model
  * <vertebrate>:
    * <Zebrafish>: simplest vertebrate model
    * <mammal>:
      * <Mus musculus>: simplest mammal model
