RuleBender 2.0.320

First of all, modern biological experiments generate great amounts of data describing intracellular dynamics.

The rule-based languages for describing intracellular biochemistry allow for the construction and simulation of detailed models with unprecedented scope and precision.

We can use rule-based Models to suggest new hypotheses and new ideas for future experimentation. Rule-based models can be difficult to understand and time consuming to debug.

The RuleBender application is a free utility that allows you to construct, debug, simulate and analyze rule-based biological models in the BioNetGen language.

Detailed instructions on how to use the RuleBender utility on your Mac are available HERE.

RuleBender is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Binaries for the Windows and Linux platforms are available on the project's homepage.
