Open-source platform for Systems Bio : "Life123"

As a PLATFORM for SYSTEMS BIOLOGY, the open-source project LIFE123 (https://life123.science) offers a growing set of tools to wrestle with the complications of numerical solutions to complex dynamical systems, such as cycles of biochemical reactions.

  • ONLY 1/2 OF THE BATTLE, is to offer functions to set up and simulate webs of reactions, optionally with spatial components and diffusion (plus - upcoming - membranes...)
  • The OTHER 1/2 OF THE BATTLE is a battery of tools, to tame numerical instabilities, to visualize & analyze the results, and to integrate high-performance computing: a collaboration of software engineering, data science, numerical methods, biochemistry & biology, among other fields.

=> Pleased to announce version Beta 22 of this collaborative open-source project.

Explore it all with just a few lines of Python code in convenient Jupyter notebooks! (optionally in a 1-click hosted environment)
