The number of genome-scale metabolic models has been rising quickly in recent years, and the scope of their utilization encompasses a broad range of applications from metabolic engineering to biological discovery. However the reconstruction of such models remains an arduous process requiring a high level of human intervention. Their utilization is further hampered by the absence of standardized data and annotation formats and the lack of recognized quality and validation standards.

Plants provide a particularly rich range of perspectives for applications of metabolic modeling. We here report the first effort to the reconstruction of a genome-scale model of the metabolic network of the plant _Arabidopsis thaliana_,... |

Systems biology offers an interdisciplinary approach to scientific research that typically involves the collaboration of teams of experimentalists and mathematical modellers. While the importance of data standards has been recognised in facilitating exchange of data between the parties, challenges still remain regarding the practicalities of disseminating experimental data.

The introduction of novel web-based tools aimed at promoting collaborative work has provided a platform upon which scientific applications can be built. The recently released Google Wave protocol provides a facility for real-time collaboration between teams of researchers.

This work introduces a customized Robot that... |
