Simulator for gene expression networks

This paper presents a simulator for gene expression networks, based on the model of chain dynamical systems (CDS). It gives the definition of CDS, describes the simulator architecture, the language adopted for describing CDS, and the available outputs. Finally, a real genetic network is studied: a subsystem of the genetic network that controls cell cycle of adrenocortical cells of the Y1 cultured cell line.
