MOSBIE: a tool for comparison and analysis of rule-based biochemical models.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Functional genomics involves the parallel experimentation with large sets of proteins. This requires management of large sets of open reading frames as a prerequisite of the cloning and recombinant expression of these proteins. RESULTS:A Java program was developed for retrieval of protein and nucleic acid s...
