About this project
Description from the program archive
Currently, the Newt editor supports Systems Biological Graphical Notation (SBGN) and Simple Interactive Format (SIF) formats while also allowing importing/exporting data in Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) format. Conversion to SBML format from SBGN or SIF is lossy since the data models are not fully compatible. Information may be lost during conversion to SBML format. This is why supporting the SBML format in Newt is crucial. The main feature proposed to be implemented is for users to create SBML models from scratch in Newt without the need to convert them to other data formats. An additional palette will be added with the corresponding notation to the existing palette for the user to create new SBML models or edit an existing one by dragging elements from the palette.
