Virtual Cell
Virtual Cell (VCell) is an open-source software platform for modeling and simulation of living organisms, primarily cells. It has been designed to be a tool for a wide range of scientists, from experimental cell biologists to theoretical biophysicists.
== Concept ==
The primary mode of operation is the definition of a model consisting of compartments, species and chemical reactions, and reaction rates that are functions of concentrations. Given initial concentrations of species, the VCell can calculate how these concentrations change over time.
Models can range from the simple to the highly complex, and can represent a mixture of experimental data and purely theoretical assumptions.
Users access Virtual Cell as a distributed application over the Internet. The web-based Java interface allows users to build complex models in biologically relevant terms: compartment dimensions and shape, molecular characteristics, and interaction parameters. VCell converts the biological description into an equivalent mathematical system of differential equations. Users can switch back-and-forth between the schematic biological view and the mathematical view in the common graphical interface. Indeed, if users desire, they can manipulate the mathematical description directly, bypassing the schematic view. VCell allows users a choice of numerical solvers to translate the mathematical description into software code which is executed to perform the simulations. The results can be displayed on-line, or they can be downloaded to the user's computer in a wide variety of export formats. The Virtual Cell license allows free access to all members of the scientific community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://vcell.org/ )〕
