Author(s): Klamt Steffen, Saez-Rodriguez Julio, Gilles Ernst D
Primary Institution: Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems
Hypothesis
Can a comprehensive toolbox for structural and functional analysis of cellular networks be developed?
Conclusion
CellNetAnalyzer provides a single suite to perform structural and qualitative analysis of both mass-flow and signal-flow based cellular networks in a user-friendly environment.
Supporting Evidence
- CellNetAnalyzer extends its predecessor FluxAnalyzer by new methods for signaling and regulatory networks.
- It provides a large toolbox with various, partially unique, functions and algorithms for functional network analysis.
- More than 600 independent researchers worldwide have downloaded CellNetAnalyzer.
Takeaway
CellNetAnalyzer is a software that helps scientists understand how different parts of a cell work together by analyzing their networks.
Methodology
CellNetAnalyzer is a MATLAB toolbox that allows users to create and analyze both mass-flow and signal-flow networks through a graphical user interface.
Limitations
The software may not fully account for all types of interactions between mass-flow and signal-flow networks.
