Biosimulation: Building upon the Past
Posted by Zack Lynch
Like every technological revolution, the old is supporting the new. Today's Protein Folding Project is leveraging the distributed computational capabilities of thousands of computers world-wide to unwind the hyper-complex problem of protein folding. The emerging biological revolution is completely dependent on information technology, just as information technology would have been impossible without industrial age advances like electricity.
As Charles Delisi recently mentioned at a Santa Fe Institute meeting, "there is no way the past ten years of advances in genomics would have been possible without the computational capabilities brought forth by the microchip."
