What is E-Cell System?

E-Cell System is a software platform for modeling, simulation and analysis of complex, heterogeneous and multi-scale systems like a cell.

E-Cell4 accepts multi-algorithms, multi-timescales and multi-spatial-representations as its central feature.

Features

• Single particle simulations, i.e. The enhanced Green's Function Reaction Dynamics (eGFRD) method, Spatiocyte (a lattice-based method), and the Reaction Brownian Dynamics (RBD) method
• Ordinary differential equations, Gillespie algorithm (the direct method), and spatial Gillespie algorithm (the next subvolume method)
• Rule-based modeling
• Python programmable
