What is BioUML?

BioUML is Java framework for systems biology. It spans the comprehensive range of capabilities including access to databases with experimental data, tools for formalized description of biological systems structure and functioning, as well as tools for their visualization and simulations.

Currently BioUML framework consists from following parts:

  • Meta model - provides an abstract layer to present structure of any biological system as a clustered graph.
  • Viewer - a universal viewer to visualize graphs of biological systems structure as diagrams.
  • Editor - universal diagram editor.
  • Search engine - provides searching of components with the specified properties in biological pathway databases. The search result can be presented as graph and further edited by a user using BioUML editor.
  • Modeler - allows a user to model/simulate dynamics of biological systems using block diagrams.
  • Standard diagram and data types - an attempt to standardize data types and graphic notations for biological pathways.
  • Database modules - provides incorporation of different databases biological pathways into BioUML framework.

Version 0.8.1
BioUML workbench version 0.8.1 was released at July 22, 2008. More...
 
Demo - flash movies
We have created 7 flash movies that demonstrate main BioUML features. Movies
 
BioUML and BioModels
BioUML workbench version 0.7.8 (beta) was able to simulate all 150 SBML models from BioModlels database (release 9). According to our metrics now BioUML is the best simulator for SBML models.
