[cellml-discussion] BioModels Database 10th release

[Nicolas Le Novere]

Hinxton, Friday 28th March 2008

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the tenth release of BioModels Database. 

This new release sees the the addition of 52 models, 17 entering the 
curated branch. That brings the public version of BioModels Database 
to 244 models representing 25731 reactions. As usual, a significant 
portion of the annotation of existing models has also been updated. 
The database now features around 10000 cross-references.

We are now focusing on developing BioModels Database software 
version 3, that will see pretty much everything rewritten. Therefore 
the current release is mainly a data-only one. However, we are still 
adding a few functionalities, such as new methods in the WebServices 
allowing more efficient retrieval of models

BioModels Database is developed by the teams of Nicolas Le Novère
(EMBL-EBI, United-Kingdom) and Michael Hucka (SBML Team, Caltech, USA)
in collaboration with Upinder Bhalla (DOQCS, National Center for
Biological Sciences, India), Ion Moraru (the Virtual Cell, USA), 
Herbert Sauro (Keck Graduate Institute, USA), Hiroaki Kitano 
(Systems Biology Institute, Japan), Hans Westerhoff and Jacky Snoep 
(JWS Online, Stellenbosch (ZA) and Manchester (UK) Universities), 
as part of the BioModels.net initiative. BioModels Database 
development has benefitted from funds of the European Molecular 
Biology Laboratory (Le Novère team), the National Institute of 
General Medical Sciences (SBML team and Le Novère team), the 
DARPA (Sauro team) and the National Center for Research Resources 
(Virtual Cell team).


A big thank-you to all our collaborators and submitters!
