PhysiCell: An open source physics-based cell simulator for 3-D multicellular systems

Publishing date: 2018-04-11 Published on: PLOS Computational Biology summary: Many multicellular systems problems can only be understood by studying how cells move, grow, divide, interact, and die. Tissue-scale dynamics emerge from systems of many interacting cells as they respond to and influence their microenvironment.

Ten simple rules for collaborative lesson development

Publishing date: 2018-03-01 Published on: PLOS Computational Biology summary: Lessons take significant effort to build and even more to maintain. Most academics do this work on their own, but leveraging a community approach can make educational resource development more sustainable, robust, and responsive.

Mindboggling morphometry of human brains

Publishing date: 2017-02-23 Published on: PLOS Computational Biology summary: None authors: Arno Klein, Satrajit S. Ghosh, Forrest S. Bao, Joachim Giard, Yrjö Häme, Eliezer Stavsky, Noah Lee, Brian Rossa, Martin Reuter, Elias Chaibub Neto, Anisha Keshavan

Metacoder: An R package for visualization and manipulation of community taxonomic diversity data

Publishing date: 2017-02-21 Published on: PLOS Computational Biology summary: Community-level data, the type generated by an increasing number of metabarcoding studies, is often graphed as stacked bar charts or pie graphs that use color to represent taxa.

ASPASIA: A toolkit for evaluating the effects of biological interventions on SBML model behaviour

Publishing date: 2017-02-03 Published on: PLOS Computational Biology summary: None authors: Stephanie Evans, Lourdes Cucurull-Sanchez, Christopher Larminie, Mark C. Coles, Marika C. Kullberg, Jon Timmis, Kieran Alden link to paper: 10.
