Lately I've been thinking about computer simulations and what would be the most fruitful thing to simulate right now. I've read about simulating an entire bacterial cell at the molecular lever in the past, but only recently have I learned that the people who accomplished that feat have made their software available for free downloading. I was super excited and quickly installed the source code into three computers. The source code is found here: https://github.com/CovertLab/WholeCell
The code is written in Matlab 2010b. I've been successful at getting it to work on Matlab 2015a and Matlab 2010a, with Windows 7 and Redhat Linux respectively. Oddly I have not been able to get the software to work on Scientific Linux 6 running either Matlab 2012a or 2010b. That machine runs a dual core Pentium D processor and there seems to be something wrong at a deep level with one of the number crunching libraries.
