Hinxton, Wednesday 2nd September 2009

Dear colleagues,

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

In this release, 15 new models have gained entry to the curated branch. The public version of BioModels Database now contains 231 models in the curated and 198 in the non-curated branch. Together, these 429 models comprise 32014 species and 39293 reactions. Some of the existing models have been curated again and updated to SBML Level 2 Version 3 or Version 4. And some have been slightly changed for correction and to enhance reusability. Also the annotations of some existing models have been updated. The database now features around 16492 cross-references.

Along with the data release, we have added some new features and also have fixed some bugs in the BioModels Database software.

BioModels Database is being developed by the Computational Neurobiology group (EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute, United-Kingdom) and the SBML Team (California Institute of Technology, USA). The collaborators are the Database Of Quantitative Cellular Signalling (National Center for Biological Sciences, India), the Virtual Cell (University of Connecticut Health Center, USA), JWS Online (Stellenbosch University, ZA) and the CellML team (Auckland Bioengineering Institute, NZ).

BioModels Database development is funded by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (Computational Neurobiology group), the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (Computational Neurobiology group), the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (SBML team and Computational Neurobiology group), and the National Center for Research Resources (Virtual Cell team).

BioModels Database also benefited from the help of Herbert Sauro (Washington University, USA) and Hiroaki Kitano (Systems Biology Institute, Japan), and from the funds of the DARPA (Sauro team).

A big thanks to all collaborators and submitters.

We also want to thank the SBML community for their support and the tools they provide and develop.
