What is SBML ?
SBML - Systems Biology Markup Language - is a description language for simulations in systems biology. SBML is oriented towards representing biochemical networks common in research on a number of topics, including cell signaling pathways, metabolic pathways, biochemical reactions, gene regulation, and many others. It is mostly useful for exchange of models between different software.
SBML was developed by the Caltech unit of the ERATO Kitano project, with frequent input from the community.
