BioModels Database is a repository of mathematical models representing biological systems. It currently hosts a range of models describing processes like signaling, protein-drug interaction interactions, metabolic pathways, epidemic models, and many more. The models that BioModels hosts are usually described in peer-reviewed scientific literature. These models are manually curated and semantically enriched with cross-references to external data resources (such as publications, databases of compounds and pathways, ontologies, etc.).
