Definition
BioModels Database is a public repository for mathematical models of biological processes. It provides access to models described in peer-reviewed scientific literature, as well as those generated automatically from pathway resources. Model components, structure, and behavior of a large proportion of models in the database are thoroughly checked. This manual procedure ensures model correspondence with the original publication. Furthermore, model components are semantically enriched with cross-references to external ontologies and other relevant data resources. Models are exported in various formats, including SBML. Graphical representations of reaction networks are also provided. Simple and advanced search options are available to facilitate model retrieval. BioModels Database can be accessed through a web interface and programmatically using web services.
All models are distributed under the...
