Why BioNSi?
Modeling and simulation of biological networks is an effective and widely used research methodology. BioNSi (Biological Network Simulator) is a tool for modeling biological networks and simulating their discrete-time
dynamics, implemented as a Cytoscape App. BioNSi includes a visual representation of the network that enables researchers to construct, set the parameters, and observe network behavior under various conditions.
To construct a network instance in BioNSi, only partial, qualitative biological data suffices. The tool is aimed for use by experimental biologists and requires no prior computational or mathematical expertise.
