Patent ID: 8548744

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for cellular modeling comprising: generating a cellular model including a plurality of compartments, the cellular model including at least a first compartment, a second compartment, and a third compartment from the plurality of compartments, the first compartment and the second compartment being variations of the third compartment, the first compartment and the second compartment having a shared portion, the shared portion including at least one of a shared compartment from the plurality of compartments shared by the first compartment and the second compartment, the first compartment having an unshared portion, the unshared portion including at least one of an unshared compartment from the plurality of compartments, a reaction, or a species not shared by the second compartment; receiving a selection of a portion of the cellular model to simulate, the selected portion of the cellular model comprising at least one of: the first compartment, the second compartment, or a combination of the first compartment and the second compartment; simulating, using a processor, the cellular model including the selected portion of the cellular model to obtain a result; and providing an output, the output comprising the result from simulating the selected portion of the cellular model.
