All the features and bug fixes will be added to this  develop  branch. After completion of a group of bug fixes or features,  develop  can be merg

Getting Started

I look forward to learning extensively this summers. This blog series is dedicated to sharing my progress in the project throughout the GSoC period. As I will be working on ModelPolisher tool , here is a brief introduction of ModelPolisher and my project: ModelPolisher is a tool which accesses BiGG Models Knowledgebase to annotate and autocomplete SBML models. My project aims towards extending ModelPolisher annotation capabilities for models lacking BiGG I
