Building and visualizing whole-cell models has been a long-standing cross-disciplinary challenge for the research community. The confluence of data accessibility and advances in computational resources have opened the door to structural investigations of entire cells. A 3D model of an entire Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) has been built and visualized through CellPACK. This model recapitulates the data from the whole-cell system biology simulations and provides a structural representation for all MG proteins, DNA and RNA molecules. The cover incorporates both the 3D whole-cell bacterial model and the gene expression data resulting from the system biology simulations.
