Abstract: A whole cell model may be constructed and used to simulate cell behavior. The whole cell model may have a baseline cell state that can be perturbed by a user in order to understand the behavior and importance of various molecules, processes and/or sub-models within the whole cell model. The simulation data is evaluated according to a variety of heuristics. The simulation data is ranked within each heuristic. The heuristic evaluation of the simulation data is then compared to an input perturbation to determine the relative importance of the heuristics. The output is a visualization of the simulation data according to each heuristic within a dynamic ranked display.

Abstract: After running a simulation on a biological cell, a simulation system displays a circular viewer for presenting simulation data. The circular viewer is a graphical element which contains a plurality of circular graphical elements, wherein each circular graphical element displays simulation data of one biological category ordered around the circular graphical element. Responsive to a user input, the circular viewer updates the circular graphical elements to visually indicate subsets of simulation data in each graphical element that are above a threshold differential from a baseline cell state of the biological cell. The circular viewer may additionally display connectors linking portions of simulation data from different circular graphical elements. Moreover, the circular viewer may update to display simulation data in the circular graphical elements over a plurality of time steps over which the simulation has occurred.

Abstract: Example implementations may relate to interactive object fabrication. In particular, a control system may receive model data defining a 3D shape of a physical object that is fabricable out of a substrate at a work site. The system may then direct a projection system to emit onto the substrate a projection illustrative of the 3D shape defined by the model data. Also, the system may transmit, to a robotic system, fabrication instructions that direct the robotic system to fabricate the physical object in accordance with the model data. subsequently, during fabrication of the physical object, the system may (i) receive progress data indicative of a portion of the physical object that has been fabricated from the substrate, and (ii) direct the projection system to update the projection of the 3D shape to remove a portion of the projection corresponding to the portion of the physical object that has been fabricated.
