Julia Importer for SBML models

SBMLImporter is a Julia package for importing dynamic Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) models into either a JumpProblem for Gillespie simulations, a SDEProblem for chemical Langevin simulations, or an ODEProblem for deterministic simulations. Some major highlights of SBMLImporter are:

Additional information on features and tutorials can be found in the documentation.

Other SBML related Julia packages

There are currently three other SBML related packages in Julia:

  1. SBML.jl wraps a subset of the libSBML functionality and is used by SBMLImporter and other SBML related packages for parsing SBML models.
  2. COBREXA.jl is designed for constraint-based metabolic modeling. Constraint-based models, which are often referred to as flux-balance analysis (FBA) models, are not supported by SBMLImporter.
  3. SBMLToolkit.jl is the most similar package to SBMLImporter as it imports an SBML model into a ReactionSystem. Still, we recommend to use SBMLImporter as it supports more SBML features, has more efficient event handling, and supports efficient JumpProblem (Gillespie) simulations. An extensive list of differences can be found in the documentation.
