In many applications concerning Systems and Synthetic Biology such as the reverse engineering and the de novo design of genetic circuits, stochastic effects (yet potentially crucial) are often neglected due to the high computational cost of stochastic simulations. With advances in these fields there is an increasing need of tools providing accurate approximations of the stochastic dynamics of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) with reduced computational effort.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This work presents SELANSI (SEmi-LAgrangian SImulation of GRNs), a software toolbox for the simulation of stochastic multidimensional gene regulatory networks. SELANSI exploits intrinsic structural properties of gene regulatory networks to accurately approximate the corresponding Chemical Master Equation with a partial integral differential equation that is solved by a semi-lagrangian method with high efficiency. Networks under consideration might involve multiple genes with self and cross regulations, in which genes can be regulated by different transcription factors. Moreover, the validity of the method is not restricted to a particular type of kinetics. The tool offers total flexibility regarding network topology, kinetics and parameterization, as well as simulation options.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>SELANSI runs under the MATLAB environment, and is available under GPLv3 license at https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/selansi.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btx645","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,10]],"date-time":"2017-10-10T11:10:27Z","timestamp":1507633827000},"page":"893-895","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["SELANSI: a toolbox for simulation of stochastic gene regulatory networks"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Manuel","family":"P\u00e1jaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"BioProcess Engineering Group, IIM-CSIC, Spanish National Research Council, Vigo, Spain"}]},{"given":"Irene","family":"Otero-Muras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BioProcess Engineering Group, IIM-CSIC, Spanish National Research Council, Vigo, Spain"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"V\u00e1zquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, University of A Coru\u00f1a Campus Elvi\u00f1a s\/n, A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8203-1799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio A","family":"Alonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BioProcess Engineering Group, IIM-CSIC, Spanish National Research Council, Vigo, Spain"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012712480699700_btx645-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17454","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1213530109","article-title":"Transcriptional burst frequency and burst size are equally modulated across the human genome","volume":"109","author":"Dar","year":"2012","journal-title":"Proc.
