ViCe: a virtual cell.

Abstract

We report on the specification and analysis of VICE, a hypothetical cell with a genome as basic as possible. We used an enhanced version of the pgr-calculus and a prototype running it to study the behaviour of VICE. The results of our experimentation in silico confirm that our virtual cell ldquosurvivesrdquo in an optimal environment and shows a behaviour similar to that of real prokaryotes.
