mpbn 4.3.1

Simple implementation of Most Permissive Boolean networks

The mpbn Python module offers a simple implementation of reachability and attractor analysis (minimal trap spaces) in Most Permissive Boolean Networks (doi:10.1038/s41467-020-18112-5). The mpbn Python module also offers a Most Permissive simulator, which provides trajectory sampling and computes attractor propensities (see paper Variable-Depth Simulation of Most Permissive Boolean Networks for more details).

It is built on the minibn module from colomoto-jupyter which allows importation of Boolean networks in many formats. See http://colomoto.org/notebook.
