On July 10th, 2007, Swiss-based computational biology provider Genedata AG announced its collaboration with FRISYS, the Freiburg Initiative for Systems Biology recently founded under the umbrella of the Centre for Systems Biology (ZBSA) in Freiburg, Germany. FRISYS focuses on modelling and systems analysis of signalling processes in growth and differentiation: in human cells; in model photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria, the moss Physcomitrella patens and the plant Arabidopsis thaliana; and in the animal models zebrafish and Caenorhabditis elegans, a roundworm. FRISYS is one of four FORSYS (Forschungseinheiten der Systembiologie) Systems Biology Centers funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
