The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Biology Knowledgebase (KBase) program is a software and data platform aimed at enabling scientists to predict and design biological functions. José Pedro Lopes Faria, postdoctoral appointee in Argonne’s Mathematics and Computer Science Division, is one of the researchers working on KBase. In a recent article posted on the Argonne website, Faria was cited as saying: “KBase is the only current program that allows you to perform all of these tasks and more within one platform.”
