Abstract
Gene regulation networks are a significant biological research area.
Simulations and visualizations of genetic processes are being created as
biologists grapple with the vast amounts of new genetic information. We
present a genetic network simulation environment that visualizes protein-gene
interactions and concentrations as they occur during the simulation. In
addition, the layout of this genetic simulation can be changed into a
visualization of a conceptual model of the simulated genetic network. The
visual simulation and network visualization are integrated by animating the
change between the simulation view and the visualization view. The flagella
system of Escherichia coli has been used to verify the results of this tool and
to provide a working model. This particle-based real-time visual simulations
of genetic networks allows for virtual experimentation using similar
methodologies of live experiments.
