The document discusses understanding biological systems at the level of complexes and networks. It mentions that the cell cycle consists of four phases (G1, S, G2, M) involving growth and DNA replication. Gene expression and protein complexes are regulated through phosphorylation and degradation. The author and colleagues have studied the cell cycle across species including S. cerevisiae using microarray time courses. They developed scoring schemes to analyze cycling genes and protein complexes. Their work has provided insights into just-in-time assembly of complexes and temporal networks as well as cross-species comparisons of orthologous genes. Reanalysis and integration of high-throughput data can provide new biological understanding.
