ABSTRACT
As the current state of the Metaverse is largely driven by corporate interests, which may not align with scientific goals and values, academia should play a more active role in its development. Here, we present the challenges and solutions for building a Metaverse that supports systems biology research and collaboration. Our solution consists of two components Kosmogora, a server ensuring biological data access, traceability, and integrity in the context of a highly collaborative environment such as a metaverse; and ECellDive, a virtual reality application to explore, interact, and build upon the data managed by Kosmogora. We illustrate the synergy between the two components by visualizing a metabolic network and its flux balance analysis. We also argue that the Metaverse of systems biology will foster closer communication and cooperation between experimentalists and modelers in the field.
