SBToolbox - "The Systems Biology Toolbox 2 (SBTOOLBOX2) for MATLAB offers systems biologists a powerful, open, and user extensible environment, in which to build models of biological systems."
The SBToolbox and its extension package (SBPD) are systems biology-oriented suites of functionality to be implemented in MATLAB, and include capacity to conduct high-speed simulations, enhance model building through model comparison and parameter estimation, and experimentally validate models. The user interface is highly graphical throughout.
Two 2009 Op-Eds in Science explore the importance of quantitative training for biologists:
