##ccBooleanAnalysis: Boolean-based representations of Biological Systems ccBooleanAnalysis is an open-source modeling system that can visualize biological networks as logic gate circuits, and vice-versa.
###Why ccBooleanAnalysis? In recent years, discrete dynamic modeling has emerged as a powerful method of modeling and understanding biological systems. One type, boolean network models (which was initially used as a prototypical model of genetic regulatory networks), has been shown to be a tractable approach for modeling large-systems. A boolean network consists of a set of nodes whose state is binary and is determined only by other nodes in the network through Boolean functions. The simplicity and self-containment of these graphs makes it extremely fast to simulate these systems and is also a very realistic interpretation of how biological networks actually work. Unfortunately, no computer systems currently exist for converting a visualization of a biological network into a logic gate visualization and vice-versa.
###Custom Build While in the ccBooleanAnalysis project directory, run:
npm install .
gulp
The ccBooleanAnalysis build files will be in the build/ directory.
###Usage
####Client-side
<script src="/PATH/TO/ccBooleanAnalysis.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
...
var equal = ccBooleanAnalysis.compare("X","Y");
####Node.JS
First, run npm install ccBooleanAnalysis. Then, in your source file:
var ccBooleanAnalysis = require('ccBooleanAnalysis');
...
var equal = ccBooleanAnalysis.compare("X","Y");
