As scientists make biological models, it is difficult to create frameworks of mathematics and formula’s around it. Usually this requires significant customization for each model. Dr Sorger’ Lab has developed a Python framework for creating systems biology models. These translate the equations to the models and allow a tedious task to be significantly simplified by using Python as a language to simplify the mathematics. PySB is an open source framework that works with other languages like BioNetGen and Kappa and allows the models developed with PySB to be reused and developed. Being Python, PySB works other libraries like SciPy, NumPy and SymPy and makes model development easier. Look up the link below for more information.
