Natural language processing: put your model where your mouth is

Molecular mechanisms are often described using "word models"—phrases intended to capture the interactions in a biological process. In their recent work, Sorger and colleagues (Gyori et al, 2017) provide a framework for converting word models into computational structures that can be simulated and compared to experimental data. By codifying word-based descriptions of molecular phenomena, scientific communities can better evaluate, compare, and share mechanistic insights.
