Snazer

DESCRIPTION

The Simulations and Networks Analyzer (Snazer) is a free downloadable software prototype for non commercial purposes (see below) upon acceptance of this licence.
Snazer is a modular tool designed to aid the processes of visualizing and manipulating reactive models, as well as to share and interpret time-course data produced by stochastic simulators or by any other means. Snazer upgrades the viewer of Beta Workbench and interfaces its output format. It loads biological networks encoded in SBML as well, and stores graph layouts in standard GraphML files. Moreover, it loads time-course data exported in CSV, compresses and prepares them for remote sharing and statistical processing. Finally, to enhance interoperability, it has been equipped with a public, XML-based, schema to allow other tools both to encapsulate and structure their time-course data and to package their interaction networks, if any.
A number of features are provided:

Import from: Beta Workbench output, CSV, SBML and (proprietary) XML file formats;
Export to: CSV, GraphML and (proprietary) XML file formats;
Interacting view of the chemicals reactive networks;
Color auto-tuning for color-blind users;
Node importance highlighting (degree distribution);
Custom and MIRIAM-compliant annotation support;
Statistical analysis of simulated multi-traces;
Statistical outcome export in Support Vector Graphics (SVG).

The current version of Snazer is beta 1.2.
