Scientists Create First Computerized Model Of Entire Organism’s Lifecycle | TPM Idea Lab
The simulation takes about nine to 10 hours in order for one cell to divide, again emulating its real counterpart
It took nearly four years to actually write the software to perform the simulation itself, and the use of over 900 prior scientific papers on Mycoplasma genitalium and other bacterium to create the perfect algorithm to simulate the organism.
Among the many new advances that the computer simulation could lead to is the possibility “for the wholesale creation of new microorganisms,”
Researchers used 128 computers to model an organism that is actually a sexually transmitted parasite.
