Gap Detection for Genome-Scale Constraint-Based Models
Constraint-based metabolic models are currently the most comprehensive system-wide models of cellular metabolism. Several challenges arise when building an in silico constraint-based model of an organism that need to be addressed before flux balance analysis (FBA) can be applied for simulations. An algorithm called FBA-Gap is presented here that aids the construction of a working model based on...
متن کاملLikelihood-Based Gene Annotations for Gap Filling and Quality Assessment in Genome-Scale Metabolic Models
Genome-scale metabolic models provide a powerful means to harness information from genomes to deepen biological insights. With exponentially increasing sequencing capacity, there is an enormous need for automated reconstruction techniques that can provide more accurate models in a short time frame. Current methods for automated metabolic network reconstruction rely on gene and reaction annotati...
متن کاملScaffold-based Reconstruction Method for Genome-Scale Metabolic Models
Understanding living organisms has been a quest for a long time. Since the small advances of the last centuries, we have arrived to a point where massive quantities of data and information are constantly generated. Even though most of the work so far has focused on generating a parts catalog of biological elements, only recently have we seen a coordinated effort to discover the networks of rela...
متن کاملGenome-Scale Metabolic Network Models of Bacillus Species Suggest that Model Improvement is Necessary for Biotechnological Applications
Background: A genome-scale metabolic network model (GEM) is a mathematical representation of an organism’s metabolism. Today, GEMs are popular tools for computationally simulating the biotechnological processes and for predicting biochemical properties of (engineered) strains.Objectives: In the present study, we have evaluated the predictive power of two ...
متن کاملMore than just a gut feeling: constraint-based genome-scale metabolic models for predicting functions of human intestinal microbes
The human gut is colonized with a myriad of microbes, with substantial interpersonal variation. This complex ecosystem is an integral part of the gastrointestinal tract and plays a major role in the maintenance of homeostasis. Its dysfunction has been correlated to a wide array of diseases, but the understanding of causal mechanisms is hampered by the limited amount of cultured microbes, poor u...
