Whyte, Barry James2015-10-292015-10-292006-02-16http://hdl.handle.net/10919/59867An international group of scientists from 14 different organizations around the world are proposing a new quality standard for biochemical models. The background for this effort is the pressing need for a minimum standard of information that will allow scientists to build and use effective models of biological systems. If biological models are incompletely described, it causes major obstacles for scientists wishing to apply these models to their research efforts. By introducing a framework for quality control, the scientists hope to make it easier for researchers to reuse, modify, and combine computer models of biological processes.In CopyrightVirginia Bioinformatics InstitutePress releaseVirginia Tech.
