Funded by the LINCS program we are performing perturbations in 20 cell types chosen for their biological diversity and interest to the broad scientific community. For the small-molecule perturbations, we will profile the cellular consequences of treatment of each of these cell types with 4,000 small-molecule compounds of interest to the community (including compounds emerging from the MLPCN network). For the genetic perturbations, we will perform both gain- and loss-of-function studies for 3,000 human genes.

nare is a software platform for handling a wide class of economic models, in particular dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) and overlapping generations (OLG) models. The models solved by Dynare include those relying on the rational expectations hypothesis, wherein agents form their expectations about the future in a way consistent with the model. But Dynare is also able to handle models where expectations are formed differently: on one extreme, models where agents perfectly anticipate the future; on the other extreme, models where agents have limited rationality or imperfect knowledge of the state of the economy and, hence, form their expectations through a learning process. In terms of types of agents, models solved by Dynare can incorporate consumers, productive firms, governments, monetary authorities, investors and financial intermediaries. Some degree of heterogeneity can be achieved by including several distinct classes of agents in each of the aforementioned agent categories.
