Cell Illustrator 3.0 are released
In March 2007, we released the new version of Cell Illustator. The new release is version 3.0, and it contains CSML.
Cell Illustrator 3.0 is a software tool that enables biologists to draw, model, elucidate and simulate complex biological processes and systems. It has outstanding drawing capabilities, moreover it allows researchers to model metabolic pathways, signal transduction cascades, gene regulatory pathways as well as dynamic interactions of various biological entities such as genomic DNA, mRNA and proteins.
Cell Illustrator 3.0 models are used to visualize biological pathways, interpret experimental data and test hypotheses. In addition, it provides researchers with model diagrams of publication quality and simulation result charts. See http://www.cellillustrator.com for details.
