Change Amount for Simulation

In order to simulate the time course of Species resulting from forced expression of a gene/genes on a certain time, ControlPanel implements the Change amount functionality. By this functionality you can run a simulation with the amount of Species at a specific time being changed to a desired value.

To run simulation changing the amount for Species at specific time:

  1. In the ControlPanel, click the Change amount tab.
  2. Check the Change amount checkbox.
  3. Input the amount of Species corresponding to the time specified at the header of the rows in the change amount matrix.
  4. Click the Execute button.

    The Change amount matrix can be edited by external software such as MS Excel by exporting the matrix to a CSV file. The CSV file edited outside can be imported to the ControlPanel.

To export and import the Change amount matrix:

  1. In the ControlPanel, select Export from the Data menu.
  2. Enter a file name and click the Save button.
    (A CSV file will be created with the specified file name.)
  3. Open the CSV file using other software such as MS Excel, edit values, and save them.
  4. Select Import from the Data menu.
  5. Select the file that you have just edited and click the Open button.
  6. An example of .CSV file exported from ControlPanel.
