Bioinformatics. 2009 Jun 1;25(11):1457-60. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btp173. Epub 2009 Mar 25.

Abstract

Summary: GetBonNie is a web-based application for building, analyzing and sharing rule-based models encoded in the BioNetGen language (BNGL). Tools accessible within the GetBonNie environment include (i) an applet for drawing graphs that correspond to BNGL code; (ii) a network-generation engine for translating a set of rules into a chemical reaction network; (iii) simulation engines that implement generate-first, on-the-fly and network-free methods for simulating rule-based models; and (iv) a database for sharing models, parameter values, annotations, simulation tasks and results.

Availability: GetBonNie is free at (http://getbonnie.org).
