Dear colleagues,

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

In this release, 20 new models have been published. The public version of BioModels Database now contains 249 models in the curated and 224 in the non-curated branch. Together, these 473 models comprise 37852 species and 44886 reactions. Some of the existing models have been converted to SBML Level 2 Version 4, while others have been corrected with annotational updates to enhance their reusability. The database now features 18950 cross-references.

Along with the data release, there have been dramatic improvements to both the software availability and the documentation. This should greatly help users wishing to implement their own local version of the BioModels Database infrastructure. For more information, please refer to: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels-main/develop .

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.

The BioModels Database Team
