Debian Science Project
Summary
Biology
Debian Science Biology packages

This metapackage will install Debian Science packages related to Biology. You might also be interested in the field::biology debtag.

This metapackage makes use of the packages med-bio and med-bio-dev (for development of biological applications) which are maintained by Debian Med - another Debian Pure Blend. If you are a biologist you are most probably interested in the Debian Med project which deals with biology and medicine in much more detail then the more general Debian Science.

GENESIS is a general purpose simulation platform which was developed to support the simulation of neural systems ranging from complex models of single neurons to simulations of large networks made up of more abstract neuronal components.

GENESIS has provided the basis for laboratory courses in neural simulation at both Caltech and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. Most current GENESIS applications involve realistic simulations of biological neural systems. Although the software can also model more abstract networks, other simulators are more suitable for backpropagation and similar connectionist modeling.
