Welcome to the portal for the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML), a free and open data format for computational systems biology that’s used by thousands of people worldwide.
What is SBML?
SBML is a software data format for describing models in biology. It’s a little like HTML, but for formal models instead of web pages. It’s independent of any particular software tool and not limited to any particular field of the life sciences. It’s open and free.
How do you use it?
Many software tools and databases support SBML directly. You don’t write in SBML yourself—your software does it for you. And in the BioModels Database, you can find hundreds of published models in SBML format.
No matter how you use SBML, we invite you to sign up for the SBML discussion group, sbml-discuss.
