Motivation: The study of genetic regulatory networks has received a major impetus from the recent development of experimental techniques allowing the measurement of patterns of gene expression in a massively parallel way. This experimental progress calls for the development of appropriate computer tools for the modeling and simulation of gene regulation processes. Results: We present Genetic Network Analyzer (GNA), a computer tool for the modeling and simulation of genetic regulatory networks. The tool is based on a qualitative simulation method that employs coarse-grained models of regulatory networks. The use of GNA is illustrated by a case study of the network of genes and interactions regulating the initiation of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Availability: GNA and the model of the sporulation network are available at http://www-helix.inrialpes.fr/gna Contact: Hidde.de-Jong@inrialpes.fr
