Source code for all included cell models can be found with the main GenNet source code (http://www.rtxi.org/topics/modules/). These code examples can be used as templates to create custom cell models for use with GenNet. The Section “Example Model Source Code” in the Supplementary Materials includes a complete code listing of an example model cell.
