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.

Visualize large data sets
It is very difficult to analyze large data sets using statistical methods if the variation in data is high. The statistical method requires large samples to average out the noise. Even then to spot a pattern takes an enormous amount of time. However, sometimes the right visualization helps one understand the data very easily rather…
Statistical approaches
Scientists frequently use statistics to determine the validity of their results. Usually a statistician gets involved and then there are statistic tests that are run to test the hypothesis. Most frequently these statistics tests are run with one specific goal. Test to determine whether these observed phenomenon are just random events i.e. signal vs. noise….
Big online databases – OMIM
Big data analysis has become the new buzzword. It is incredible to see how much data is available in online databases these days. There are many databases for the scientist – for example PubMed is the one that is used most prominently by researchers to look up a reference. However, there are many that are…
