BooLEVARD

BooLEVARD is a Python package designed to compute the number of paths leading to node activations or inactivations in Boolean models.

Features

• Import Boolean models in .bnet format.
• Compute the number of paths leading to the local states of a list of nodes.
• Perform model perturbations.
• Export back models to .bnet format.
