FERN

Performs stochastic simulation of chemical reaction networks.
Categories: simulation
FERN (Framework for Evaluation of Reaction Networks) is a fast, extensible and comprehensive framework for the stochastic simulation and analysis of chemical reaction networks. A chemical reaction network is composed of several molecular species coupled by reaction channels. The goal of stochastic simulation algorithms (SSAs) is to simulate a trajectory of the species’ populations by a Monte Carlo Markov Chain. Starting from a vector of initial amounts for each species, the SSA updates these values by firing reaction channels accordingly to a distribution given by their propensities. Additionally it calculates the time between two firings and hence provides a time scale for the events.
