Here, we release sRACIPE 2.0, a major update to the R/Bioconductor package, as a unified platform for modeling GRCs with diverse interaction types using both deterministic and stochastic simulations. The update also introduces new features for modeling perturbation, extrinsic signaling and time-corrected noise, and a new diagnostic tool to ensure proper simulations. We hope that this release will serve as a versatile modeling toolkit for the systems biology community.\nAVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The package is available on GitHub at https://github.com/lusystemsbio/sRACIPE under the MIT license.
