COPASI for Biochemical Network Simulation
William Mather, Department of Physics, Virginia Polytechnic Inst. and State University, Blacksburg, VA, USA.
Numerous software packages exist for the simulation of biochemical networks. In this tutorial, I will present and make the case for COPASI [1], which I have found to be a powerful tool both for pedagogical purposes and for research. The tutorial in part draws from my experiences teaching the q-bio summer school [2] and the Integrated Science Curriculum [3].
The following is a brief outline of the tutorial:
- Introduction to COPASI as a teaching and research tool (with time to install the program).
- Building and simulating a basic model for a gene network.
- Efficient and interactive parameter scans for this network.
- Outline of the limitations of COPASI relative to other packages.
