in vitro, in vivo, in silico, in virtuo studies in biology

Researches in Molecular Biology use
  • in vivo (Latin for within the living) observations of living organisms,
  • in vitro (Latin for within the glass) experiments in controlled environments 
  • in silico simulations performed on computers
  • in virtuo analysis is experiments conducted interactively by a biologist in a virtual environment. It remedies the limits of in vivo and in silico approaches by combining the advantages of numerical simulations and natural interactions.

The most popular 3D formats



  • 3D Studio Max 3DS
  • Wavefront obj
  • ply is the a computer file format known as the Polygon File Format or the Stanford Triangle Format. The format was principally designed by the Stanford graphics lab to store three dimensional data from 3D scanners. Can also be used as alternative to STL.
  • STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. This file format is supported by many other software packages; it is widely used for rapid prototyping and computer-aided manufacturing.
  • wrl (vrml)/x3d/x3dv. X3D is the successor of VRML, but VRML remains popular in open-source and academics.
