wc_lang documentation

This package defines wc_lang, a data-driven language for concisely describing WC models.

Whole-cell (WC) models are comprehensive computational models of all of the biochemical activity inside individaul cells [Karr et al., 2015; Macklin et al., 2014]. WC models have great potential to enable bioengineers to rationally design microorganisms for industrial and medical applications and to enable physicians to personalize medical therapy [Carrera and Covert, 2015]. Please see WholeCell.org for more information about WC modeling, including perspectives, reviews, and tutorials.
