“… a highly valuable tool in helping to advance the research efforts undertaken here for the Visible CellTR project. It is a goal of the Visible CellTM project to map the output of Cell Illustrator onto a 3D physical model of the cell so that network models can be integrated and visualized …” said Professor Mark Ragan, the University of Queensland
Cell Illustrator can be used for:
Easy construction and visualization of biological pathways and processes
Simulation of systems that include both discrete and continuous processes
Estimation of unknown parameters in a pathway model using time-course information (Data Assimilation)
Simulation animation
Creating model diagrams of publication quality
Importing models from public or proprietary libraries and databases like KEGG
Creating pathway databases/libraries from a set of pathway models
Analysis and exploration of gene relationship networks
