Primer
Cells contain DNA — the hereditary material of all living systems.
A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA.
DNA contains genes whose sequence specifies how and when to build proteins.
Proteins perform most essential life functions, often working together as highly organized protein machines.
Gene regulatory networks act as the on-off switches and rheostats of a cell, specifying what proteins to produce at any given moment.
Computer models of living systems will be applied to challenges in energy, environment, and human health protection.
