Antimony 3: Extending human-readable model definitions for SBML Level 3 Core and Packages.

Antimony 3 extends support for SBML Level 3 Core and FBC, enabling combined kinetic and flux balance models within a human-readable format.

• Why it matters: Updating Antimony is essential to keep pace with evolving SBML standards and modeling practices, ensuring continued community relevance and compatibility.
• What they did: The authors developed Antimony 3 as a comprehensive update, formalizing improvements and supporting SBML Level 3 packages, with a lightweight C/C++ library and bindings for multiple scripting languages.
• The result: Antimony 3 allows modeling of complex biochemical networks with features like uncertainty representation, annotations, and visualizations, facilitating broader use in systems biology research.
