BUFFALO, N.Y. -- While molecular biologists exploit state-of-the-art scientific equipment to discover the secrets of life and disease in the post-genomic era, they complain often that the software ...

A software package developed by a professor at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) and his colleagues to help researchers better understand the workings of biochemical networks now features an ...

Progress in systems biology is seriously hindered by slow production of suitable software infrastructures. Biologists need infrastructure that easily connects to work that is done in other ...

A summer research internship for undergraduates is not only helping them learn to build new lifesaving drug molecules and create new biofuels—it's also testing the concept of a virtual research ...

Artificial intelligence is turbocharging the frontiers of biological research, helping scientists program living organisms much as a software engineer might write code. Some scientists are even ...

A computational tool has successfully identified diseases with unknown gene mutations in three separate cases. Sequencing the genomes of individuals or small families often produces false predictions ...

cellPACK software can generate models of midsized structures, like this one of HIV.--Illustration courtesy of Scripps The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA, has come up with some new 3-D ...

Synthetic biologists have created software that automates the design of DNA circuits for living cells. The aim is to help people who are not skilled biologists to quickly design working biological ...
