I first encountered Von Baer’s thought experiment in Richard Fisher’s book, The Long View. At any given moment, thousands of messenger RNAs are being translated into proteins by ribosomes, which are protein-making machines that are, themselves, made from a mixture of proteins and RNA. These numbers suggest that E.

I felt like a scientist for the first time, and I began to grasp the “numbers of biology” (many calculations in this essay come from that course and another textbook, Cell Biology by the Numbers.) Without mathematics, I learned, biology is naked; we can only comprehend it at arm's length. A typical E.

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.
