Protein pyrophosphorylation: moving forward

Protein pyrophosphorylation: moving forward

Genetic ablation of inositol pyrophosphate synthesis has established the fundamental importance of this class of molecules to the eukaryote cell. These studies, however, must be complemented by cell biology and biochemical approaches to appreciate the signalling involved in the processes regulated by inositol pyrophosphates. A recent study by Chanduri et al. published in the Biochemical Journal...

Moving Path Planning Forward

Path planning technologies have rapidly improved over the last 10 years, but further integration is needed if pathfinding engines are to drive the behavior of even more realistic characters. This paper briefly outlines existing approaches for path planning and suggests scenarios where integration of information about character’s relationships could improve the quality of path planning in games.

Moving Education Forward, Again!

Educating biologists and computational biologists in methods and analyses is an ever-growing challenge. The amount of data and tools available to the scientific community continue to grow, and with that, there is a growing need to teach how to get the most out of this information. The PLOS Computational Biology Education section was launched in January 2006 [1] to address this challenge, with t...
