description “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy” (Shakespeare, Hamlet). This philosophical profundity of William Shakespeare may correctly represent the current status of our understanding of universe. In connection to this, life sciences including medicine are not an exception by any benchmark. Since the birth of science of omics, it has been envisioned that life as we know it, is far more complex than ever being anticipated. Sure enough, the data churned out by genomics, proteomics andother omics profoundly unravelled the mesmerizing complexity of life. Consequently, individual molecular components and their role in organisms have been catalogued and in order to develop an understanding of their inherent interactive biology, a new offshoot of molecular biology emerged about a decade ago referred to as Systems Biology.
