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.

Cancer is a difficult disease to manage but still difficult to treat. However, many people have many thoughts on what it takes to cure disease and cure it. Maybe, some of them are practical and others are no so practical, however, it will take a revolutionary approach to come up drug discovery paradigms that help…
Culturomics and Computational Lexicology data mining techniques.
Computational lexicology methods try to understand human behavior, cultural norms through analysis of texts. These methods try to enlist the usage of words through the years and conclude what has changed in human behavior over the years. There have been various studies done, one in particular in which Harvard scientists showed that nearly 50% of…
Mathematics prizes
There have been a variety of prizes to solve problems that are practical such as space rocket. Some companies have made a business out of problem solving through mediating solvers and problem generators – such as those mediated by Innocentive. However, rarely are problems solved just for the sake of solution of the problem. One…
