Levers for Biological Progress

Scientists are already building a model that can, for example, look at which RNA molecules are expressed in a cell at t=0 and predict how those molecules will change at t=1. Even more fundamentally, a virtual cell is a way to encapsulate the current extent of our biological knowledge. Even the humble E.
