Computing Life

Description

NIGMS brings you Computing Life, so you can learn how scientists use computers to advance our understanding of biology and human health. From text messaging friends to navigating city streets with GPS technology, we’re all living the computing life. But as we’ve upgraded from snail mail and compasses, so too have scientists.

Computer advances now let researchers quickly search through DNA sequences to find gene variations that could lead to disease, simulate how flu might spread through your school, and design threedimensional animations of molecules that rival any video game.

By teaming computers and biology, scientists can answer new and old questions that could offer insights into the fundamental processes that keep us alive and make us sick.

This booklet introduces you to just some of the ways that physicists, biologists, and even artists are computing life. Each section focuses on a different research problem, offers examples of current scientific projects, and acquaints you with the people conducting the work. You can follow the links for online extras and other opportunities to learn about—and get involved in—this exciting new interdisciplinary field.
