The virtual cell that simulates life

Computer viruses are old news, but virtual bacteria might just be the future of biology.
Because on processors at Stanford University a simulation of the entire bacterium Mycoplasma genitalium, its DNA, and the constituents of its single cell is allowing biologists to tease apart the way life works.

Life is one of the simplest examples of what is sometimes called "emergent complexity" or "self-organising systems." This subject area has captured the attention of scientists and mathematicians in diverse fields. It is the study of how elaborate patterns and behaviours can emerge from very simple rules. It helps us understand, for example, how the petals on a rose or the stripes on a zebra can arise from a tissue of living cells growing together. It can even help us understand the diversity of life that has evolved on earth.

The "game" is a zero-player game, meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves.
