Focus on “systems medicine disease map(SMDM)” and modeling on them…

Biological Pathway

“A biological pathway or molecular interaction maps (MIMs) is a sequence of molecular interactions in a cell that results in a specific outcome or a modification in the cell. It can initiate the formation of new molecules, such as a fat or protein, activate or deactivate genes, or stimulate a cell to move.”


Systems medicine disease map (SMDM)

A Systems Medicine Disease Map (SMDM) is a detailed, expert-led representation of disease mechanisms, acting as a conceptual model of a disease. It features interconnected signaling, metabolic, and gene regulatory pathways, stored in standard formats such as SBGNSBML and BioPAX.

The involvement of domain experts, including clinicians and biologists, ensures comprehensive coverage of all disease hallmarks and accurate representation of relevant knowledge.

The Disease maps are the networks (disease molecular pathways) themselves, displayed by the MINERVA Platform in a web browser, where user can explore and analyse them.



This tool was created due to the fact that “disease molecular maps projects” are not integrated in a database and there is no engine for simultaneous search in them.

minerva-entity-explorer

This tool extracts and displays the detailed information of the components by using existing epi maps. Considering that the “disease molecular maps projects” presented on the Minerva platform do not provide the detailed information of the maps, this tool can help researchers Help in this regard.

CASQ

Molecular interaction maps have emerged as a meaningful way of representing biological mechanisms in a comprehensive and systematic manner. However, their static nature provides limited insights to the emerging behaviour of the described biological system under different conditions. Computational modelling provides the means to study dynamic properties through in silico simulations and perturbations. We aim to bridge the gap between static and dynamic representations of biological systems with CaSQ, a software tool that infers Boolean rules based on the topology and semantics of molecular interaction maps built with CellDesigner.

MetaLo

MetaLo, an open-source Python package that enables the coupling of Boolean models inferred from process description MIMs with generic core metabolic networks. MetaLo provides a framework to study the impact of signaling cascades, gene regulation processes, and metabolic flux distribution of central energy production pathways. MetaLo computes the Boolean model’s asynchronous asymptotic behavior, through the identification of trap-spaces, and extracts metabolic constraints to contextualize the generic metabolic network. MetaLo is able to handle large-scale Boolean models and genome-scale metabolic models without requiring kinetic information or manual tuning.

Cell Collective

Cell Collective is an interactive, open and collaborative modeling platform for Biological Networks for researchers, students and teachers worldwide.

CoLoMoTo (Consortium for Logical Models and Tools) is a consortium of research groups interested in logical modelling: modelers, curators and developers of methods and tools. The consortium works on the definition of standards for model representation and interchange (especially the SBML qual format), and on the comparison of methods, models and tools.
