FPG – Forward Population Genetic Simulation program

FPG

:: DESCRIPTION

FPG (for Forward Population Genetic simulation) simulates a population of constant size that is undergoing various evolutionary processes, including:  mutation, recombination,  natural selection, and migration.   The meaning of “forward” in this context is simply that time, within the simulation, moves forward just as it does in the real world.  This is in contrast to coalescent population genetic simulation in which time, as represented within the simulation, proceeds back into the past.  Coalescent simulations have many advantages, but they are unwieldy if they incorporate natural selection on multiple sites.

Protein Investigator 3.0.2 – Simulation of Protein Folding

Protein Investigator 3.0.2

:: DESCRIPTION

Protein Investigator gives students an opportunity to interactively explore protein structure and function in a simplified system. This is a highly-simplified model of protein folding. It is not intended to predict the correct structures of any proteins; it is designed to illustrate the major principles involved in that process.

FASIMU 2.3.4 – Flux-balance Analysis based SIMUlations

FASIMU 2.3.4

:: DESCRIPTION

FASIMU (Flux-balance Analysis based SIMUlations)is a command line oriented software implementing the most frequently applied FBA(Flux-balance Analysis) algorithms. Moreover, it offers the first freely available implementation of (i) weighted flux minimization, (ii) fitness maximization for partially inhibited enzymes, and (iii) the concentration-based thermodynamic feasibility constraint. It allows heterogenous computation series suited for network pruning, leak analysis, FVA, and systematic probing of metabolic objectives for network curation controlled by an intuitive description file. The metabolic network can be supplied in SBML, CellNetAnalyzer, and plain text format. FASIMU uses the optimization capabilities of free (lp solve and GLPK) and commercial solvers (CPLEX, LINDO). The results can be visualized in Cytoscape or BiNA using newly developed plugins.
