A Large-scale Analysis Tool for the Systems Biology Era
GNLab (Gene Network virtual Laboratory) is a novel bioinformatics tool for the large-scale
analysis of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). This C++ command-line tool supports the analysis
of both the static structure and dynamic behaviour of a GRN. GNLab is developed to
support the design and implementation of large-scale repeatable computational experimentations on
GRNs.
GNLab consists of separable components for network generation, simulation, analysis, visualization,
comparison and inference. Through the use of a user-defined script, these components can be piped together
to construct a pipeline of GRN analysis. Each component can be invoked by a command-line option. These options
are described here. Sample applications of GNLab
can be found here.
