OBIYagns: a grid-based biochemical simulator with a parameter estimator

摘要

OBIYagns (yet another gene network simulator) is a biochemical system simulator that comprises a multiple-user Web-based graphical interface, an ordinary differential equation solver and a parameter estimators distributed over an open bioinformatics grid (OBIGrid). This grid-based biochemical simulation system can achieve high performance and provide a secure simulation environment for estimating kinetic parameters in an acceptable time period. OBIYagns can be applied to larger system biology-oriented simulation projects.
