Systems biology combines experimental and computational research to facilitate understanding of complex biological processes. In this chapter we describe data repositories, data standards, modeling, and visualization tools as prerequisites for systems biology research in order to help us to better study and understand biological processes. In addition, we propose improvements of these tools providing an example application (JUMMP) developed in our laboratory. We suggest that flexibility, interoperability, and modularity of novel applications contribute to better acceptance and further development of these tools. We also emphasize that having flexible and extendable standards describing complex and incomplete biological data allow new discoveries to be incorporated in a seamless way into systems biology tools. Overall, we discuss here advances, challenges and perspectives of data, and other platforms in systems biology which we believe will continue to make an impact on biomedical research.
