Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle of a living cell in four dimensions, capturing how the genetically minimal ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life reconstructions ever created. Using computer technology, scientists have ...

For the first time, researchers have simulated the full workings of a bacterial cell as it copies its DNA and divides into two. The experiment could help researchers to understand how the interactions ...
