The toolbox, BSTLab, implements functions common to BST-based studies and is designed to integrate easily into the widely used Matlab environment, automate many common tasks, and allow expansion and customization by the user. The toolbox also includes functions needed to reformulate and transport models from SBML.
CADLIVE
CADLIVE is a system for constructing large-scale biological networks (metabolic and gene regulatory networks) using a GUI (Graphic User Interface) and saving them as regulator reaction equations in a database in the format compatible to a simulator.
CellDesigner
CellDesigner™ is a modeling tool of biochemical networks with graphical user interface. It is designed to be SBW (Systems Biology Workbench) compliant, and support SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language) format.
Cellerator
Cellerator™ is a Mathematica® package designed to facilitate biological modeling via automated equation generation. Cellerator was designed with the intent of simulating at least the following essential biological processes:
1 signal transduction networks (STNs);
2 cells that are represented by interacting signal transduction networks; and
3 multi-cellular tissues that are represented by interacting networks of cells that may themselves contain internal STNs.
Cellware
Cellware is a grid-based modeling and simulation tool. It is a computational tool that integrates and graphically models biological information of varying complexity, conducts large-scale simulations with heavy number crunching capability, is user friendly (especially for the non-specialists) and offers services over the web.
Cytoscape
Cytoscape is an open source bioinformatics software platform for visualizing molecular interaction networks and integrating these interactions with gene expression profiles and other state data.
Dizzy
Dizzy is a chemical kinetics stochastic simulation software package written in Java. It provides a model definition environment and an implementation of the Gillespie, Gibson-Bruck, and Tau-Leap stochastic algorithms. Dizzy is capable of importing and exporting the SBML model definition language, as well as displaying models graphically using the Cytoscape software system. Dizzy is based on the ISBJava library.
E-Cell
E-Cell is a multi-algorithm, multi-timescale simulation software environment. The E-Cell system is an object-oriented software suite for modelling, simulation and analysis of large scale complex systems such as biological cells.
Gepasi
Gepasi is a software package for modeling biochemical systems. It simulates the kinetics of systems of biochemical reactions and provides a number of tools to fit models to data, optimize any function of the model, perform metabolic control analysis and linear stability analysis. Gepasi simplifies the task of model building by assisting the user in translating the language of chemistry (reactions) to mathematics (matrices and differential equations) in a transparent way. This is combined with a set of sophisticated numerical algorithms that assure the results are obtained fast and accurate.
Jarnac
Jarnac is a fast simulator of reaction networks. This is one of the main modules in SBW, it provides may computational services, includes time course simulation (ODE or stochastic), steady state analysis, basic structural properties of networks, dynamic properties like the Jacobian, elasticities, sensitivities, eigenvalues etc.
JDesigner
JDesigner is a Win32 application which allows one to draw a biochemical network and export the network in the form of SBML. The Designer has an SBW interface that allows it to be called from other SBW compliant modules, for example Python. In addition, JDesigner has the ability to use Jarnac as a simulation server (via SBW) thus allowing models to be run from within JDesigner. In this mode JDesigner is both a network design tool and simulator. Full binaries and source code is available in the download.
JSIM
JSIM is a Java-based simulation and animation environment supporting Web-Based Simulation. In JSIM, simulation models may be built using either the event package (Event-Scheduling Paradigm) or the process package (Process-Interaction Paradigm). In addition, a graphical designer (jmodel package) allows process models to be be rapidly built graphically.
