Abstract
An offshoot of classical bioinformatics, whole cell modeling integrates information from metabolic pathways, gene regulation and expression. This new area of in-silico biology converges disciplines as varied as mathematics, computers, physics and chemistry. Scientific advancements have reached a position where it is possible to create virtual replicas of games that genes play to keep the organism alive. The traditional reductionistic science is slowly but surely giving way to integrative science.
