Building a  Virtual Microbe, Gene by Gene by Gene

By CARL  ZIMMER



In the uploading serie, I have described the mathematical tools used in  
biological simulation. Here, it seems that project starts with very basic  

molecular models. This is used mostly today to see a single big molecule, here a
full bacterium would be simulated by that technology, this is a really giant  
step.
 
If that can be done, the next step would be a complete eucaryote cell such  a 
neuron. The complexity would be two or three order of magnitude larger, but 
it  could be undertaken in the coming ten years. Anyway, thanks for that  
information.
