The recent paper is Thornburg et al. "Bringing the genetically minimal cell to life on a computer in 4D" published in Cell (lnkd.in/gANEcwP2). It is a complex paper that uses a huge variety of computational methods for the simulation. Take a look and come with questions and ideas

The topic has been a hot topic recently with some excitement about attempts to simulate all the different processes going on in a minimal bacterial cell. We thought it'd be fun to get together and discuss the idea, and try to make sense of the recent work.
