Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are specified by '''transsys programs'''. A transsys program consists of the keyword <code>transsys</code>, followed by a name and a '''block'' containing the actual GRN specification. The block contains '''factor declarations''' and '''gene declarations''', as described below. The block may be empty. A minimal, empty transsys program is
