Cellucidate is a tool for computation biologists to run simulations. It is based on the Kappa language.
The various objects in Cellucidate are arranged into a book metaphor. The basic hierarchy is:
Bookshelves `-> Books `-> Agents `-> Rules `-> Models `-> Model Rules `-> Initial Conditions `-> Rule Observables `-> Solution Observables `-> Simulation Runs `-> Ode Results `-> Plots `-> Series
Additionally, there are a few resources for auxiliary tasks, like importing data and running various jobs Cellucidate::KappaImportJob.
Cellucidate has a RESTful interface. So this library is built upon the REST::Client library. At the core, there are 4 operations over HTTP, including: GET, POST, PUT and DELETE. The encoding is primarily XML, but certain resource can be returned in CSV and Kappa (application/x-kappa).
Around each resource, there are convience methods -
find( { params }, format) get(id, format) update(id, { data }, format) create({ data }, format)
See each subclass for a list of specific methods and examples
There are two variables that should be set. These are used by all subclasses.
This is a hash of configuration options for the underling REST client. See REST::Client for more information.
$Bio::Cellucidate::CONFIG = { host => 'http://api.cellucidate.com' };
This is a hash of your authentication information from cellucidate.com. It includes your email address as your login and API Key.
$Bio::Cellucidate::AUTH = { login => 'email@host.com', api_key => '111111' };
Base class for each resource.
Represents a Bookshelf in Cellucidate. This is pretty much the top tier of cellucidate resources.
Represents a Book in Cellucidate. This is where Models live. A book can be placed on a Bookshelf and has many Models.
Represents an agent in Cellucidate. Agents are used by rules and initial conditions and solution observables. Books have zero, one or many agents and an agent belongs to a book.
Represents a rule in Cellucidate. Books have zero, one or many rules and a rule belongs to a book. Models have Rules through the ModelRule resource.
Represents a biological model in Cellucidate. The model belongs to a book and contains a number of Model Rules and Initial Conditions. A number of simulations can be run from a Model, each having a number of settings.
Represents a Rule that is used my a model. Model rules belong to a model and models have one or more typically many model rules. ModelRules have an association to Rules.
Represents an Agent or set of Agents that you want to observe and plot the concentration of when the simulation is run.
Represents a ModelRule that you want to observe the activity of when the simulation is run.
This is an initial condition in a model. Models have one by more typically many initial conditions and an initial condition belongs to a model.
A simulation run represents an execution of the Cellucidate simulator and contains child result resources. Simulation runs define various settings. A Model has one or many simulation runs and a simulation run belongs to a model.
Represents the set of ODE formulas generated when running a simulation in ODE-mode. The results can be used directly in MATLAB.
A plot contains a single time series and a number of data series representing the rule and solution observables. A simulation run has one or many plots (one for each iteration).
A collection of datapoints. A series belongs to a plot and represents an observable or time.
This is a resource that represents an import job. This allows the creation of a Book, including Model Rules and Initial Conditions, from a Kappa string.
This is the request client, a subclass of REST::Client. This isn't a cellucidate resource.
