Computational framework for understanding human and other eukaryotic physiology

Summary Assembled by Curation Team

Database or Data Source
The Physiome Project is a worldwide public domain effort to provide a computational framework for understanding human and other eukaryotic physiology. It aims to develop integrative models at all levels of biological organisation, from genes to the whole organism via gene regulatory networks, protein pathways, integrative cell function, and tissue and whole organ structure/function relations. Current projects include the development of: * ontologies to organise biological knowledge and access to databases * markup languages to encode models of biological structure and function in a standard format for sharing between different application programs and for re-use as components of more comprehensive models * databases of structure at the cell, tissue and organ levels * software to render computational models of cell function such as ion channel electrophysiology, cell signalling and metabolic pathways, transport, motility, the cell cycle, etc. in 2 & 3D graphical form * software for displaying and interacting with the organ models which will allow the user to move across all spatial scales An important goal of the project is to develop applications for teaching physiology.
