Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division—scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

A new computer program allows scientists to design synthetic DNA segments that indicate, in real time, the state of cells. It will be used to screen for anti-cancer or viral infections drugs, or to ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

IBM has started selling the first computer based on its multicore Cell processor, targeting organizations that run compute-intensive tasks such as medical imaging or oil exploration. The Cell chip was ...

Unit's 200-GFLOPS performance shines in mobile military applications The PowerBlock 200 is presented as the first rugged computer using the 64-bit IBM Cell Broadband Engine processor. Taking advantage ...

(Nanowerk News) All the cells in our body have the same genetic code, and yet they can differ in their identities, functions and disease states. Telling one cell apart from another in a simple manner, ...
