Cell Illustrator enables biologists to draw, model, elucidate and simulate complex biological processes and systems. In conjunction with its outstanding drawing capabilities, CI allows researchers to model metabolic pathways, signal transduction cascades, gene regulatory pathways and dynamic interactions of various biological entities such as genomic DNA, mRNA and proteins.

Cell Illustrator comes preloaded with TRANSPATH^® pathways and chains, providing immediate access to signal transduction and metabolic pathway representations derived from the scientific literature. The integration of TRANSPATH reactions provides direct access to thousands of experimentally demonstrated binding and regulatory relationships – providing a unique set of building blocks for drawing custom networks and pathways.

Cell Illustrator models are used to visualize biological pathways, interpret experimental data and test hypotheses. In addition, it provides researchers with model diagrams of publication quality and simulation result charts.

Benefits

• Represent complex biological pathways for understanding and publication
