Hello everyone!
My name is Sankha Das and I am a 2nd year Computer Science undergraduate at BITS Pilani Pilani Campus, India. I am excited to announce that I have been accepted as a Google Summer of Code student under NRNB for summer 2021.
I will be working on the project “SBML4Humans - Interactive SBML Report for Humans” and will be mentored by Dr. Matthias König and Dr. Ralf Steuer.
Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) is a standard format for the representation and exchange of biological models between computers. The information in an SBML model file is organized as a list of components encapsulated within the model (e.g. compartments, species, parameters, reactions, etc.). My project aims to provide an interactive SBML report as a deliverable web application for easy reading and interpretation of SBML models by humans. The project encapsulates the following features:
i) interactive SBML report with navigation between SBML objects
ii) search and filter functionality
iii) web application with REST API
v) support for hierarchical model, distributions and COMBINE archives
Such an interactive report will thus significantly enhance the process of reading and exchanging SBML models.
Please feel free to reach out to me to know more about the project, I will be most happy to exchange ideas with the community. Looking forward to having a great summer with NRNB!
Thanks & Regards,
Sankha Das
