Welcome to CometWiki. This site describes the set up and usage of `comet' the actin-based motility simulator.

Usage

Examples Symmetry Breaking and Motility Example simulation run 2D (from Figure 1 in paper) 3D links view of above example Forces during Symmetry Breaking Forces and link breaks during symmetry breaking Link breaks during smooth motility Circumferential and Radial measurements Circumferential measurements during symmetry breaking Radial measurements during symmetry breaking Circumferential measurements during smooth motilty Radial measurements during smooth motilty Ellipsoid and Capsule symmetry breaking Sideways symmetry breaking of ellipsoid (3D) Sideways symmetry breaking of capsule (2D) 3D Reconstructions of in vitro Constrained Shells Shell #1 Shell #2 Shell #3 Shell #4 3D Reconstructions of in vitro Unconstrained Shells Shell #1 Shell #2 (3-lobed split) Shell #3 Shell #4 Shell #5
