Description
Evaluate one Boolean activator/inhibitor rule.
Computational biology distinguishes discrete counts, probabilistic weights, sequence indexes and logical rules. A supplied event or record flag can be summarized without simulating a stochastic process, validating a sequence annotation or establishing a biological mechanism.
Evaluate one Boolean activator/inhibitor rule.
When to use this tool
Use Boolean Regulator Inhibition Token when checking the stated count, sequence, Boolean-rule or support convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter activators, inhibitors, activatorRule. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read activated, inhibited, output. Inspect activated, inhibited, output before interpreting the associated values.
Evaluate one Boolean activator/inhibitor rule. Require activatorRule all or any; activated uses every/some, inhibited uses any true inhibitor, output = activated && !inhibited.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| activators | Activators | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| inhibitors | Inhibitors | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| activatorRule | Activator Rule | Required. Text; one of "all", "any"; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| activated | all uses true for an empty activator list; any uses false for empty. | Required. Boolean. |
| inhibited | Inhibited | Required. Boolean. |
| output | Output | Required. Boolean. |

"input": {
"activators": [
true,
false
],
"inhibitors": [
false
],
"activatorRule": "any"
},
"output": {
"activated": true,
"inhibited": false,
"output": true
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Empty all-activators is true and empty any-activators false; this is a supplied logical rule, not inferred gene regulation.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the complete sequence, identifier universe or stochastic/logical model for actual inference, sampling and uncertainty analysis.
