Are there any good resources to start in this field for non-biology majors? It seems they have now full end-to-end simulation so one can program yeast and even test it out at some extent with nothing but just a computer.
- skosuri 10y agoThey don't have that at all. This was a Herculean effort over 5 years with very few actual changes to the natural genome. I don't mean to make it seem not impressive (it is ambitious and impressive); it's that we are so far away from an end to end simulation of anything even orders of magnitude simpler than yeast.
