Other merits and matters

Open Source Software Development: "CplexA" (released on April 19th, 2010) is a Mathematica package to compute probabilities and average properties of macromolecular assembly and its effects in gene regulation. CplexA and the tutorial are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cplexa/ (2010)
