As a PLATFORM for SYSTEMS BIOLOGY, the open-source project LIFE123 (https://life123.science) offers a growing set of tools to wrestle with the complications of numerical solutions to complex dynamical systems, such as cycles of biochemical reactions.
ONLY 1/2 OF THE BATTLE, is to offer functions to set up and simulate webs...

This is a method for low-cost electrotransformation of electrocompetent NEB turbo E coli cells using a homemade electroporation apparatus.
The original paper upon which this method is based can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3000589
My method for preparing electrocompetent E coli can be found here: h...
CYCLES of reactions are the bread-and-butter of biological networks... Explore them with just a few lines of Python code! (optionally in a 1-click hosted environment 😀 )
Pleased to announce version Beta 21 of the COLLABORATIVE OPEN-SOURCE project LIFE123 (https://life123.science) : Computational Systems Biology, with em...
Hi folks,
I found a nice overview over the strength of various BioBricks promoters https://jbioleng.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1754-1611-3-4
I'm especially interested in finding a constitutive promoter (family) so I can test a range of promoters with different known strengths, for example the BioBricks J23100 prom...
ChatGPTis a very sophisticated "chatbot" - and I'm excited by its possibilities in terms of facilitating advanced learning. Check out this conversation I had with it about Neuroscience. I got enlightening answers to questions that I had confronted when I first studied neuroscience!
In our chats (click on link below for ful...
Pleased to announce version Beta 19 of the COLLABORATIVE OPEN-SOURCE project LIFE123 (https://life123.science) : Computational Systems Biology, with emphasis on Dynamical Models (quantitative reactomics with spatial awareness.)
This new version brings Adaptive Variable Time Resolution for coupled reactions (to ration c...
I found a used MJ Research PTC-100 Thermal Cycler for sale at $200, which is a really great price. However, it looks VERY old and the owner would not let me test it (he is a used equipment reseller so had zero experience with biology, and just wouldnt let me put some dubious liquid in his machine). The equipment powers on f...
I am working with carrots, which are, in general, very easy to culture. Just pop them on MS media with 2,4-D and they will produce callus within a month. My only problem is that my carrots seem to have a LOT of endophytic bacteria that take over very quickly. What can I do to suppress or kill these bacteria? I plan on using...
