[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actin Actin] is a polymer built by cells that allows them to move.  One way to study how our cells use actin to produce force and move is to study a simplified system which still recreates actin-based motility ''in vitro'', such as actin-based bead motility.  In this system we coat a bead with proteins that tell the cell to polymerize actin, then put the bead a solution that mimic the inside of the cell, which causes an actin network to build around the bead.  Surprisingly, even when the bead is spherically symmetric, rather than just building a symmetric shell that gets bigger and bigger, it moves off in 'comet tail' of actin.  This bead motility simulator aims to help us understand how this process works.

This wiki describes how to set up and use the `comet' program.

You can read an introduction to the comet project here(to return here, click on 'cometwiki' rather than using the browser back button).

Video Tutorials

Installing the Program

comet runs on any unix-like operating system, including OS X, Linux or Windows (under cygwin).

Running the Program

The program is called from the command line. The command line parameters tell the program what to do (calculate a new run, re-process existing data, interactive 3D view etc.). A cometparams.ini file in the working directory tells the program detailed information about the model parameters to use for calculation and display.
