Abstract: 
Modern genomics is very ecient at mapping genes and gene networks, but how to transform these maps into predictive models of the cell remains unclear. Recent progress in computer science, embodied by intelligent agents such as Siri, inspires an approach for using 'omics data to seed multiscale models of the cell, which are ultimately able to predict a range of cellular phenotypes and answer biological questions.
