title: Stochastic simulation GUI for biochemical networks.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This article describes the development of a useful graphical user interface for stochastic simulation of biochemical networks which allows model builders to run stochastic simulations of their models and perform statistical analysis on the results. These include the construction of correlations, power-spectral densities and transfer functions between selected inputs and outputs.
