A computer model as a crystal ball for E. coli

Even the simplest organisms are hard to predict. Computer scientist Ilias Tagkopoulos. UC Davis Genome Center, talks about the model he and colleagues have built for the bacterium E. coli. The model could act as a 'crystal ball' that helps researchers design better experiments. Tagkopoulos says this is an exciting time to be on the interface of biology, computer science and engineering.
