Cell Illustrator 4.0

Cell Illustrator 4.0 is a software tool that enables biologists to draw, model, elucidate and simulate complex biological processes and systems. It has outstanding drawing capabilities, moreover it allows researchers to model metabolic pathways, signal transduction cascades, gene regulatory pathways as well as dynamic interactions of various biological entities such as genomic DNA, mRNA and proteins.

Cell Illustrator 4.0 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.

Cell Illustrator 4.0 has new lineup that launches from Browser with Java web start technology, the trial version is available two weeks from the following websites,

• Cell Illustrator Online 4.0
• Cell Illustrator Online 4.0 (mirror)

Three products lineup are available:

• Cell Illustrator Player (free license)
• Cell Illustrator Standard
• Cell Illustrator Professional

(Note) ClassRoom edition is also available for lecture with short period, please contact from the online form. (Note) Server edition is also avaiable for intranet usage (for security reason), please also contact from the online form.
