Overview
Cell Illustrator provides biochemists with comprehensive visual representations of biochemical processes which form large and complex networks. The software gives new insight to understanding these networks and relationships between chemical components in structurally complex dynamic interactions and processes.
Cell Illustrator aids researchers in modeling metabolic pathways, signal transduction cascades, gene regulatory pathways as well as dynamic interactions of various biological entities such as genomic DNA, mRNA and proteins.
Cell Illustrator has been successfully used to model: gene regulation of the lac operon, Circadian Rhythms in Drosophila melanogaster, Apoptosis Induced by Fas ligand, and the switching mechanism of λ phage.
Easy-to-use Petri Net design methodology and intuitive interface make the Cell Illustrator software an excellent tool for biologist, biochemists, and scientists conducting research in life sciences as well as for graduate educators.
Using Cell Illustrator requires no advanced knowledge of differential equations and/or higher mathematics.
Biological pathways modeled with the Cell Illustrator can be visualized and animated using Cell Animatorâ„¢.
