Important softwares in modelling and simulation

 

BioSPICE Dashboard

Bio-SPICE, an open source framework and software toolset for Systems Biology, is intended to assist biological researchers in the modeling and simulation of spatio-temporal processes in living cells. In addition, our goal is to develop and serve a user community committed to using, extending and exploiting these tools to further our knowledge of biological processes.



 





BioUML

BioUML is Java framework for systems biology. It spans the comprehensive range of capabilities including access to databases with experimental data, tools for formalized description of biological systems structure and functioning, as well as tools for their visualization and simulations.

 





CADLIVE

CADLIVE is a system for constructing large-scale biological networks (metabolic and gene regulatory networks) using GUI (Graphic User Interface) and saving them as regulator reaction equations in a database in the format compatible to a simulator. It has been developed by H. Kurata at the Kyushu Institute of Technology together with staffs at Mitsui Knowledge Industry Co., Ltd.

PROTON

PROTON is an Integrative Modeling System (IMS). It has been initiated by the project MARG sponsored by the German Research Council (DFG). The purpose of the system is to support the modeling of large-scale systems by using integrative methods.




Simpathica

Simpathica is a set of tools capable of simulating and analyzing biological pathways. It consists of a front end and a back end. The front end is a pathway editor which generates a set of Ordinary Differential Equations, which are in turn simulated using Octave. The back end, also known as XSSYS, is a temporal logic analysis tool which can answer queries about the time course behavior of a set of pathways. Developed by NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.

StochSim

StochSim is a stochastic simultor for biological processes. StochSim was written by Carl Firth (formerly Carl Morton-Firth)

Aipotu 

         It is a BioQUEST software simulation that integrates genetics, biochemistry, molecular       biology, and evolution to study a biological phenomenon. It is designed to show students the connections between these three key disciplines of modern molecular genetics. It is based on "Botstein's Triangle"; (Science 240:1439 (1988)) shown below:





That is:
  • Life can be explained in terms of The Individual Functions of Living Things.
  • Genetics explains The Individual Functions of Living Things in terms of Genes.
  • Biochemistry explains The Individual Functions of Living Things in terms of Proteins.
  • Molecular Biology connects Genetics and Biochemistry by explaining how Genes encode Proteins.
  • Evolution provides a context that explains how these features changed over time to become what they are.




The phenomenon under study - the Individual function of this living thing - is the color of a simulated flower (see below).
You are provided with a starting set of flowers in the Greenhouse; these organisms are saved as organism files, each of which contains two DNA sequences. These organisms are loaded into the Greenhouse when the program starts.

Information Retreival Systems in Bioinformatics: Entrez

Currently many biological databases have been developed and became an important toolbox for every scientist in research and academic purpose. Searching a sequence homologue of either Protein, DNA or to know the novelty of a sequence, one needs to do a sequence search against available databases. Similarly, searching for Open Reading Frame, structure, functional, regulatory sequences and repeated elements, we also need to search our query against different available databases. As biological data is increasing with the passage of time, its tremendous growth requires a searching and access system to retrieve useful information. In biological data, three retrieval systems are widely used relevant to a scientific need, it includes: Entrez, Sequence Retrieval System also known as SRS and DBGET. These retrieval systems let its user a text search against multiple molecular databases and also provides useful relevant information in the forms of links either internal or external to our qu...

Information Retreival System: Implementation

NCBI provides an information retrieval system, Entrez, designed to provide user friendly access to biomedical data including structural, molecular, sequences and literature.   Entrez provides access and searching facilities to more than 30 databases of genome, health, structural, literature, sequence and chemical. It provides faecet, limited and advance searching option with Boolean operators to customize user’s query. It also facilitates querying with wild card characters, mapping and controlled vocabulary. Web implementation of Entrez has more valuable applications and benefits over Network Entrez as it facilitates searching with a tremendous amount of data in different databases. Entrez provides navigational links between different databases either provided by NCBI or external (journal/databases) for each record by using two types of relationships: neighbors and hard links. Both of these types of relationships have been found on the basis of controlled vocabulary and algor...

How genetic algorithm works in Bioinformatics?

A.     Initialization Originally various individual solutions are generated arbitrarily to build initial population. Size of population depends on problem nature, but typically it carries several hundred to several thousand possible solutions. Usually, the population is created arbitrarily, covering the complete range of probable solutions. Sometimes solutions may be “seeded” where there is a chance of optimal solutions. B.     Selection During every consecutive generation, a fraction of the present population is chosen for breeding a new generation. Fitness-based process chooses individual solutions, where solutions measured through functions of fitness are usually likely to be chosen. Many selection procedures rate the fitness for every solution and specially select the one best solution among all. Some other procedures rate just a random population sample, because this procedure may be inefficient in terms of time. Most functions are designed ...
