Abstract
SUMMARY: Biological Expression Language (BEL) assembles knowledge networks from biological relations across multiple modes and scales. Here, we present PyBEL; a software package for parsing, validating, converting, storing, querying, and visualizing networks encoded in BEL. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: PyBEL is implemented in platform-independent, universal Python code. Its source is distributed under the Apache 2.0 License at https://github.com/pybel.
