Fig 1. Catalyst connects an intuitive domain-specific language with a well-supported intermediate representation.

Fig 1

The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) network is important to the regulation of many cellular functions, and its disruption has been implicated in cancer [35]. (a) A CRN representation of the ERK network. (b) A model of the ERK CRN can be implemented in Julia through the Catalyst DSL, using code very similar to the actual CRN representation. (c) From this code, the DSL generates a ReactionSystem intermediate representation (IR) that is the target structure for a range of supported simulation and analysis methods.
