Modeling and Simulation Using CellDesigner

  • Protocol
  • First Online:
Book cover Transcription Factor Regulatory Networks

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1164))

Abstract

In silico modeling and simulation are effective means to understand how the regulatory systems function in life. In this chapter, we explain how to build a model and run the simulation using CellDesigner, adopting the standards such as SBML and SBGN.
