Posted by: Jason Cawley

A group at UC San Diego has a paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on metabolic schemes in simulate E Coli. Basically they are interested in how the huge space of possible genomes maps into a surprisingly limited number of metabolic strategies, acting as a suitable cover of a range of environmental conditions.

The paper is called

How E. Coli Bacterium Generates Simplicity From Complexity

They have a press release about the paper here
