Combining standards for today's models -- Volkswagen summer school 2015

Combining standards for today's models -- Volkswagen summer school 2015

The goal of this summer school is to encode the whole-cell model -- a popular model of the whole cell -- in standard formats. The summer school will take place in March 2015 in Rostock, Germany.

Karr et al. have recently published the first whole-cell computational model which studies the cell cycle on different levels of detail, using a plethora of state-of-the-art modeling techniques, ranging from ODEs to Boolean network and constraint-based modeling.

Since publication in 2012, the Karr model has been referenced more than 250 times and parts of it have been reused.

Our goal is to encode this popular, multi-module model in COMBINE standards. The generated modules will be made available to the public via open repositories.

A second meeting on encoding a condensed version of the whole cell model took place in Salt Lake City, October 10-11, 2015 as a satellite to the annual COMBINE meeting.
