Text-based model definition languages allow researchers to create models simply, and then export them to a common exchange format. Modular languages allow researchers to create and combine complex models more easily. We saw a use for a modular text-based language, together with a translation library to allow other programs to read the models as well.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Summary: The Antimony language provides a way for a researcher to use simple text statements to create, import, and combine biological models, allowing complex models to be built from simpler models, and provides a special syntax for the creation of modular genetic networks. The libAntimony library allows other software packages to import these models and convert them either to SBML or their own internal format.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability: The Antimony language specification and the libAntimony library are available under a BSD license from http:\/\/antimony.sourceforge.net\/<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0lpsmith@u.washington.edu<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,4]],"date-time":"2009-07-04T00:24:32Z","timestamp":1246667072000},"page":"2452-2454","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":118,"title":["Antimony: a modular model definition language"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Lucian P.","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA"}]},{"given":"Frank T.","family":"Bergmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA"}]},{"given":"Deepak","family":"Chandran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA"}]},{"given":"Herbert M.","family":"Sauro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023013112120290200_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1866","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1089072","article-title":"Biological networks: the tinkerer as an engineer","volume":"301","author":"Alon","year":"2003","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2023013112120290200_B2","first-page":"1637","article-title":"SBW\u2014a modular framework for systems biology","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 37th Conference on Winter Simulation","author":"Bergmann","year":"2006"},{"key":"2023013112120290200_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.2174\/157016406779475380","article-title":"Computational tools for modeling protein networks","volume":"3","author":"Bergmann","year":"2006","journal-title":"Curr.
