Genome sequencing and annotation of metabolic pathways has led to predicted interactions that can be tested by transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. These interactions between the individual products can then be linked in a predictive network and used to construct testable hypotheses. The field best suited to investigate these statements would be ________.

A. adaptive biology
B. synthetic biology
C. pathway-predictive biology
D. systems biology
