COMPUTER MODEL OF A COMPLETE MICROORGANISM Scientists at Stanford Create Mycoplasma genitalium In SoftwarePublished by: Intelligence - The Future of Computing Published: Jul. 1, 2012 Table of Contents
AbstractIn a breakthrough effort for computational biology, the world’s first complete computer model of an organism has been completed, researchers from Stanford U reported in the journal Cell. A team led by Markus Covert, a Stanford bioengineering professor, used data from more than 900 scientific papers to account for every molecular interaction that takes place in the life cycle of Mycoplasma genitalium – the world’s smallest free-living bacterium. This microbe is one that is famous for causing sexually transmitted diseases in human beings.By encompassing the entirety of an organism in silicon, the research fulfills a long-standing goal for the field. Not only does the model allow researchers to address questions that aren’t practical to examine otherwise, and conduct experiments in new ways without standard experimental instruments and equipment, it also represents a major step forwar Get full details about this report >> |
