BioNetGen plug-in

BioNetGen (BNG) plug-in for BioUML 0.9.6 aims to combine two representations of the rule based model in BioUML:

  • visual representation as BioUML-diagram using special BNG-notation;
  • text-based representation using BioNetGen Language (BNGL)[1][2].

Plug-in allows user to edit model both as BioUML-diagram and BNG-text. Visual representation being changed BNG-text is updated on the fly.
Text changes are applied to the diagram on demand (after "Apply BioNetGen" button have been pressed).
Besides model representations synchronisation, also care is taken of preserving user diagram layout as well as BNG-text formatting (spaces, comments, etc.)
Please note: text changes would be applied only after "Apply BioNetGen" button have been pressed. If diagram is changed before this button have been pressed, all changes in text will be lost!
It is allowed to remove connection with current version of BNG-text. To do it "Remove connection" button should be pressed. If this button is pressed text is recreated using diagram.
Note: all text formatting and some of comments will be removed. Also BNG-attribute will be removed.
"Deploy" button being pressed deployed model is generated. Source diagram will be substituted by deployed diagram (it will not be saved without pressing of the save button, and will have "_deployed" suffix in its name).
Note: source diagram won't be changed and won't be replaced.

Features overview

Currently plug-in is in alpha version, so some features of the BioNetGen aren't supported. Also we want to achieve full synchronisation between BioNetGen and plug-in.

Features which are supported within plug-in Features of the BioNetgen which are not supported in the alpha-version
  • Creating, removal and properties editing of species, molecules, molecule components, observables;
  • Creating, removal and properties editing of reactions with reactants and products;
  • Creating, removal and editing of variables' initial assignment (scalar rate equation);
  • Deploying diagram.
  • Molecule types (can be read from file, but there is no any check);
  • Functions;
  • Nf and stochastic simulations;


Note: plug-in also does not support changing of the species' initial value in the actions block.
