The Molecular Sciences Institute (MSI) was an independent, nonprofit research institute, founded in June 1996 by Sydney Brenner and based, from early 1998, in downtown Berkeley, California. Roger Brent joined MSI in 1997 and served as its director. This is an offline preservation of the institute's public website at molsci.org, recovered and reassembled in approximately the form it took during the years of MSI's operation.
The Molecular Sciences Institute is an independent, nonprofit research laboratory that combines genomic experimentation with computer modeling. The mission of MSI is to predict the behavior of cells and organisms in response to defined genetic and environmental changes.

Provenance. Approximately 1,900 pages were recovered from web-archive snapshots and other public copies of molsci.org. Some redirect-stub pages from the original CMS remain as dead-ends; a small number of cross-references could not be resolved and remain broken. The archive does not invent content the live site did not serve.
Recovery and reassembly performed by Claude (Opus 4.7) in May 2026. The site is preserved as static HTML; nothing here is updated.
