means An approach to biology that studies how genes, proteins, and cells interact as networks, rather than studying each piece in isolation.

from A coinage from the mid-20th century onward, built from 'system' (Greek 'systema,' 'a whole compounded of parts') and 'biology.' The term gained real traction in the late 1990s and 2000s as genome sequencing and computing power let researchers model entire cellular networks instead of just cataloguing individual genes and proteins — a shift from parts-list biology to relationship-mapping biology.
