Completely redesign of the website: JCell online.
The official website of JCell@ZBIT is online. The design of the "unofficial site" will soon be updated.

07.07.2004
New regulatory model implemented: pseudo-linear weight matrices.
A pseudo-linear, quantitative model based on weight matrices.

27.11.2003
New inference algorithm implemented: bitset inference.
This inference algorithm is a Memetic Algorithm. Global GA optimizing a BitSet representing a topology, local ES-search for parameters.

13.11.03
New inference algorithm implemented: island inference.
The algorithm is using an island strategy to preserve diversity in the population.

30.09.2003
New inference algorithm implemented: iteratively knockout.
The algorithm evaluates the impact of single genes on the current model and suggests new biological experiments toor further reduce the ambiguity.

02.09.2003
New inference algorithm implemented: single gene inference.
This inference algorithm infers a single gene in the context of all other gene expression levels. It can be used to predict the expression changes of a single gene.

15.07.2003
New algorithm implemented: separation strategy.
This enhancement for standard inference processes separates genes and infers them independently. These submodels are merged into a global model, which itself is then optimized.
