The expression of genes is controlled by regulatory networks, which perform fundamental information processing and control mechanisms in a cell. Unraveling and modelling these networks will be indispensable to gain a systems-level understanding of biologic ...
Advances in sequencing technology are yielding DNA sequence data at an alarming rate – a rate reminiscent of Moore's law. Biologists' abilities to analyze this data, however, have not kept pace. On the other hand, the discrete and mechanical nature of the ...
We report the faithful reproduction of the self-organized aggregation behavior of the German cockroach Blattella germanica with a group of robots. We describe the implementation of the biological model provided by Jeanson et al. in Alice robots, and we com ...
