Stochastic and Deterministic Simulation Methods Used in Computational Biology

BioStoch

Simulation in Biology

Simulated with GillespySimulator: Concentration trajectories of species A and B over time. Ten independent simulations were performed, each represented by a different line color

Overview

biostoch is a Python library for simulating chemical and biological models using various deterministic and stochastic methods. It provides implementations of methods such as Euler's method, the Runge-Kutta algorithm, the Stochastic Simulation Algorithm (SSA), Tau-Leaping, and the Chemical Langevin Equation (CLE). These methods can be used to model and analyze the dynamics of biochemical reactions, gene regulatory networks, and other biological systems.

Installation

Install biostoch and its dependencies using pip:

pip install numpy matplotlib 
pip install biostoch
