‘Virtual cells’ aim to turn raw data into predictive models of biology

|
By Michael Eisenstein 
| Nature
As every gamer knows, computers can plausibly simulate just about anything from the routine concerns of a household to the crises confronting a multiplanetary civilization. Simulating the fundamental unit of life — the cell — should be a walk in the park. But it’s not. Each cell is a complex ecosystem of biomolecules that interact with one another and react to external cues in ways that remain poorly understood. And what’s true of one cell type isn’t necessarily true of another.

Powerful tools are revealing the ‘control knobs’ of the genome

|
By Michael Eisenstein 
| Nature
For all that scientists talk of ‘decoding the genome’, the messy reality is that the genome isn’t even written in a single language. Scientists are fluent in the three-nucleotide codons that make up the protein-coding genes in DNA, but these represent only about 2% of the genomic text. The remainder is written in an entirely distinct language, which researchers are yet to untangle.
