SELANSI

- SELANSI is a software toolbox for the simulation of stochastic multidimensional Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs).

- SELANSI exploits intrinsic structural properties of GRNs to accurately approximate the corresponding Chemical Master Equation (CME) with a partial integral differential equation (PIDE) that is solved by a semi-lagrangian method with high efficiency.

- The validity of the method is not restricted to a particular type of kinetics. The tool offers total flexibility regarding network topology, kinetics and parameterization, as well as simulation options.

- SELANSI runs under MATLAB (Windows, Linux and MacOS)


- Networks under consideration might involve multiple genes with self and cross regulations, in which genes can be regulated by different transcription factors.

- SELANSI computes the (approximated) numerical solution of the Chemical Master Equation (CME) obtaining the temporal evolution of the species’ probability density function (and its stationary state)
