OpenWorm is an open-source project that aims to create a virtual nematode worm in a computer. Their GitHub wiki and code make it easy for anyone with coding skills to get involved. Provided these projects do not crumble under their own computation weight and distributed complexity, we should begin to see some pretty cool effects from building virtual organisms.

Planet Earth: Certain tiny, ocean-dwelling creatures called foraminifera can survive in conditions similar to those caused by ocean acidification, say scientists. Elphidium excavatum The researchers, from Plymouth University and the National Autonomous University of Mexico, found the first evidence that some foraminifera can handle very low-pH conditions near seafloor vents in the Gulf of California. Carbon dioxide bubbles up through these vents, lowering the pH of the surrounding seawater and mimicking conditions...
