Abstract
We have developed a general-purpose computer program for the functional simulation of regulatory genetics. This simulator is knowledge-based and was developed using the Unit System, a software tool for the acquisition, representation, and manipulation of hierarchically organized knowledge. The advantages of a knowledge-based design are presented, and the simulator's architecture is described. Its performance on the decision between lytic and lysogenic growth in Bacteriophage Lambda is reported.
