Network Analysis and Modeling for Python

These modules are currently under development at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and collaborating groups in support of multiple projects in the investigation of viral/host interactions,

especially flu-omics: www.fluomics.org

and hint: http://hint.org

Prereqesites: Basic operation: scipy/numpy ID mapping: BioServices, BioPython More statistics: rpy2/R

Why?

Basically, I've started to develop a small tool targeted to:

• performing efficient analyses on networks and omics data
• take advantage of the many Python packages available and being developed by others
• integrate established network analysis methods
• object oriented & flexible to facilitate inegrating new omics data types as they become available
• create a framework to inspire the development of other applications

I recommend starting with the example for now, that is stable.

You may notice similarities with other open source resources, including the COBRApy project, which have been credited throughout the commenting.
