The SBW team is holding a tutorial on the use of SBW at the ICSB 2009. Time and Location will be anounced soon.

Download Systems Biology Workbench
This tutorial aims to familiarize participants with the tools provided in the Systems Biology Workbench for building and analyzing deterministic and stochastic models. Using SBW and integrated 3rd party software, we will introduce modeling, time course and steady state concepts, parameter sensitivity (MCA) and bifurcation analysis.
At the level of single cells, biochemical processes can involve molecules in low abundance. Such systems, given the probabilistic nature of chemistry at the molecular level, have been investigated by introducing stochastic processes and many interesting phenomena have been explained. This tutorial will provide hands-on modeling experience for stochastic gene expression, stochastic focusing (sensitivity increase due to stochastic fluctuations), cell fate decision based on stochastic single events, and stochastic switching/chatter models.
The following Jarnac files will be used during the tutorial.
Here an overview of the Jarnac Syntax.
If you want to follow along with the presentation, here the slides.
In order to follow the hands-on-exercises, participants should bring along their computers, running a Windows operating system. In order to run the software the following pre-requisites have to be installed on the machine (chances are, that you already have them):
The main tool to install is the Systems Biology Workbench, which includes almost all you need for the tutorial. You may optionally install Oscill8 if you wish to try and draw bifurcation diagrams.
No prior knowledge about how to use the software will be expected.
We placed additional tutorials here:
