Introduction to the Systems Biology Workbench

چکیده
The goal of the Systems Biology Workbench (SBW) project is to create an open-source, integrated software environment for systems biology that enables sharing of models and resources between simulation and analysis tools. The project grew out of a desire to achieve interoperability between a number of independent software packages used in biochemical network simulation and analysis. The packages in particular were: BioSpice (Arkin, 2001), Cellerator (Shapiro and Mjolsness, 2001), DBsolve (Goryanin et al., 1999), E-CELL (Tomita et al., 2001), Gepasi (Mendes, 1997), Jarnac (Sauro, 2000), StochSim (Morton-Firth and Bray, 1998), and Virtual Cell (Schaff et al., 2001).

The Systems Biology Workbench (SBW) is a broker-based architecture that provides infrastructure enabling software components to communicate with each other. A component in SBW (called an SBW module) can take many forms: it may be primarily computational and lack a GUI, or it may be a computational module having its own GUI, or it may consist solely of a GUI designed to control other tools. A cr...
متن کاملJournal of Integrative Bioinformatics
The construction of integrated datasets from potentially hundreds of sources with bespoke formats, and their subsequent visualization and analysis, is a recurring challenge in systems biology. We present WIBL, a visualization and model development environment initially geared towards logic-based modelling of biological systems using integrated datasets. WIBL combines data integration, visualisa...
