Project Lachesis
Introduction
What is Lachesis?
The project Lachesis aims at providing and integrated, easy-using and extensible CAD environment for the general purpose of Synthetic Biology.
To achieve this goal, Lachesis adopts an plug-in based structure. We provide the following three categories of plug-ins:
- Document parsers that handles various types of files, such as SBML and MoDeL.
- Models that each represents a specific kind of synthetic biological model.
- Views that present graphical user interface for users to work with biological models.
Available Features for Now
We have developed several useful plug-ins to justify our motivation as well as make Lachesis a powerful tool for designing and simulating Synthetic Biology models. Lachesis is coded with C++ and Qt. We welcome everyone to develop more helpful plug-ins for Lachesis.
Documents parsers
Currently, we provide support for .sbml file, .model file and various kinds of other file types.
Models
- Reaction Network Model represents an biological reaction network,e.g. read from an .sbml file,
- MoDeL model represents an model for the software MoDeL, which is an refactored and superior version of our last year's project iGaME.
Views
- Assembly View provides an easy-using graphical interface for working with MoDeL,
- Network View provides an graphical interface for editing biological reaction network,
- Parameter fitting view(still under construction) can analysis synthetic biology models' behavior with respect to parameter changing, and tune parameters to give the desired behavior.
Technology & Algorithms
Chen Liao refactored iGaME to form the new software package MoDeL, which is a rule-based modeling approach for synthetic biology.
Xudong Sun designed an algorithm for parameter analyzing for biological reaction network. We currently working on re-implementing the algorithm to provide an efficient graphical interface and free users from mathematical details.
