Abstract :
We summarize some recent results on using computed-aided verification technology for understanding biological systems. This includes the use of reactive models for specifying cellular mechanisms, the use of symbolic state space exploration for analyzing molecular reaction networks, and the use of SMT solvers for studying the evolution of gene regulatory circuits.
