Ion Channel model standardization and mutation analysis #148

Description

@VahidGh

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • Currently there are different ion channel modeling approaches available
    • Including HH-style and Markov models
  • Each approach has it's own formulation and parameter set
  • So, we have different formulations and parameter sets describing characteristics of even a single ion channel
  • Using mutation analysis techniques we can look into these characteristics from both the evolutionary and pharmaceutical points of view
    • E.g. Using Machine Learning for analyzing ion channel kinetics for different mutants
    • Using Probabilistic techniques for drug design
  • Techniques like Machine Learning need a standard set of parameters for comparability reasons

Describe the solution you'd like
A database of ion channel models with a standard NeuroML-based definition including a fixed formulation and number of parameters can help solving this problem.

Describe alternatives you've considered
As part of the OpenWorm project, we have started some initial works in the following repos:
