A computer scientist and biologist has come up with a scheme for exploring the effects that only emerge when a cell9s many processes interact: a simulation program called E-CELL that can reproduce, in simplified form, a cell9s biochemical symphony. Other computer models of the cell are being developed that reproduce individual cellular processes in detail; E-CELL, in contrast, is designed to paint a broad-brush picture of the cell as a whole.
