The CoLoMoTo Interactive Notebook

Accessible and Reproducible Computational Analyses for Qualitative Biological Networks The CoLoMoTo Interactive Notebook relies on Docker and Jupyter technologies to provide a unified environment to edit, execute, share, and reproduce analyses of qualitative models of biological networks

BoNesis

Synthesis of Most Permissive Boolean Networks from network architecture and dynamical properties

Homepage: https://bnediction.github.io/bonesis - Tutorial

mpbn

Python implementation of Most Permissive Boolean Networks (MPBNs). MPBNs formally guarantee not to miss any behavior achievable by a quantitative refinement of the Boolean model. Moreover, MPBNs significantly reduce the complexity of reachability and attractor analysis. See Reconciling Qualitative, Abstract, and Scalable Modeling of Biological Networks.

Pint

Static analyses for dynamical properties on very large-scale Automata Networks. Provided analyses include notably the listing of fixed points, successive reachability properties, cut sets and mutations for reachability, and model reduction preserving transient dynamics. The translation to related formalisms, in particular Boolean and multi-valued networks, is also provided.

I got my M.Sc. in computer science from École Normale Supérieure de Cachan, Brittany extension, France, in 2008 and my Ph.D. from École Centrale de Nantes, France, in 2011, supervised by Olivier Roux and Morgan Magnin. Between 2011 and 2012, I have been a postdoc at Laboratoire d'Informatique de l'École Polytechnique (LIX), France, in the AMIB group. Between 2012 and 2013, I have been a postdoc at ETH Zürich, Switzerland, in the BISON group of Heinz Koeppl. Since 2013, I am a full-time researcher at CNRS (permanent position, chargé de recherche), between 2013 and 2018 in LRI laboratory (Orsay, France), and since 2018, in LaBRI laboratory (Bordeaux, France). In 2020, I got my Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR) from Université Paris-Saclay. In 2023, I have been promoted to Directeur de Recherche (DR2) by CNRS.
