While this software is widely used, it works as a standalone application and until now it was not possible for users to interact with its models through the web. We built ShinyCOPASI, a web-based application that allows COPASI models to be explored through a web browser. ShinyCOPASI was written in R with the CoRC package, which provides a high-level R API for COPASI, and the Shiny package to expose it as a web application. The web view provided by ShinyCOPASI follows a similar interface to the standalone COPASI and allows users to explore the details of a model, as well as running a subset of the tasks available in COPASI from within a browser. A generic version allows users to load model files from their computer, while another one pre-loads a specific model from the server and may be useful to provide web access to published models. The application is available at: http://shiny.copasi.org/; and the source code is at: https://github.com/copasi/shinyCOPASI.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.03796v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.03796v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"shinycopasi-a-web-based-exploratory-interface","repo_url":"https://github.com/copasi/shinycopasi","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
