Parallel Model Checking Large-Scale Genetic Regulatory Networks with DiVinE

Studies of cells in silico can greatly reduce the need for expensive and prolonged laboratory experimentation. The use of model checking for the analysis of biological networks has attracted much attention recently. One of the practical limitations is the size of the model. In the paper we report on parallel model checking of genetic regulatory network using the model-checker DiVinE. The approach can check linear time properties on large networks.
