Pastboon: an R package to simulate parameterized stochastic Boolean networks.

ABSTRACT:

Summary

Influencing the behavior of a Boolean network involves applying perturbations, which, in standard deterministic Boolean networks, is equivalent to modifying the update rules. Nevertheless, manipulating update functions to make a Boolean network exhibit the desired dynamics is challenging, as it requires extensive knowledge of the rationale behind the logical equations. Moreover, modifying logical rules can inadvertently alter essential functional and behavioral characteristics of the network. An alternative approach is to incorporate a set of parameters into the logical functions of Boolean networks. With such methods, one can alter the behavior of the network without needing detailed knowledge of the logical functions. We developed pastboon, an R package to simulate parame
