A scalable, open-source implementation of a large-scale mechanistic model for single cell proliferation and death signaling

Abstract

Mechanistic models of how single cells respond to different perturbations can help integrate disparate big data sets or predict response to varied drug combinations. Here the authors develop a scalable, open-source pipeline for constructing and simulating large-scale, single-cell mechanistic models, an important building block for clinically-predictive mechanistic models and interpretable big data integration.
