In many virus families, tens to thousands of proteins assemble spontaneously into a capsid (protein shell) while packaging the genomic nucleic acid. This review summarizes recent advances in computational modeling of these dynamical processes. We present an overview of recent technological and algorithmic developments, which are enabling simulations to describe the large ranges of length-and time-scales relevant to assembly, under conditions more closely matched to experiments than in earlier work. We then describe two examples in which computational modeling has recently provided an important complement to experiments.
