Key result
ModFossa is a newly developed Python library that provides an easy-to-use, Markov model-based ion channel simulator with a fast numerical solver and vector graphics plotting.
ModFossa provides a Python-based library for modeling ion channels using continuous-time Markov processes, offering an alternative to GUI-based software.
ModFossa introduces an open Python library for Markov ion channel modeling; leaves open its adoption and validation in electrophysiology research.
The creation and simulation of ion channel models using continuous-time Markov processes is a powerful and well-used tool in the field of electrophysiology and ion channel research. While several software packages exist for the purpose of ion channel modeling, most are GUI based, and none are available as a Python library. In an attempt to provide an easy-to-use, yet powerful Markov model-based ion channel simulator, we have developed ModFossa, a Python library supporting easy model creation and stimulus definition, complete with a fast numerical solver, and attractive vector graphics plotting.
