JigCell Model Connector: Building Large Molecular Network Models from Components
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe ever-growing size and complexity of molecular network models makes them difficult to construct and understand. Modifying a model that consists of tens of reactions is no easy task. Attempting the same on a model containing hundreds of reactions can seem nearly impossible. We present the JigCell Model Connector, a software tool that supports large-scale molecular network modeling. Our approach to developing large models is to combine together smaller models, making the result easier to comprehend. At the base, the smaller models (called modules) are defined by small collections of reactions. Modules connect together to form larger modules through clearly defined interfaces, called ports. In this work, we enhance the port concept by defining different types of ports. Not all modules connect together the same way, therefore multiple connection options need to exist.
