چکیده

Summary: FBA-SimVis is a VANTED plug-in for the constraintbased analysis of metabolic models with special focus on the visual exploration of metabolic flux data resulting from model analysis. The program provides a user-friendly environment for model reconstruction, constraint-based model analysis, and interactive visualisation of the simulation results. With the ability to quantitatively analyse metabolic fluxes in an interactive and visual manner, FBA-SimVis supports a comprehensive understanding of constraint-based metabolic flux models in both overview and detail. Availability: Software with manual and tutorials are freely available at http://fbasimvis.ipk-gatersleben.de/ Contact: [email protected] Supplementary information: Examples and supplementary data are available at http://fbasimvis.ipk-gatersleben.de/

Software applications for flux balance analysis

Flux balance analysis (FBA) is a widely used computational method for characterizing and engineering intrinsic cellular metabolism. The increasing number of its successful applications and growing popularity are possibly attributable to the availability of specific software tools for FBA. Each tool has its unique features and limitations with respect to operational environment, user-interface a...

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...

Removing both Internal and Unrealistic Energy-Generating Cycles in Flux Balance Analysis

Constraint-based stoichiometric models are ubiquitous in metabolic research, with Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) being the most widely used method to describe metabolic phenotypes of cells growing in steady-state. Of the many variants of constrainbased modelling methods published throughout the years, only few have focused on thermodynamic issues, in particular the elimination of non-physical and ...

Integration of expression data in genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions

With the advent of high-throughput technologies, the field of systems biology has amassed an abundance of "omics" data, quantifying thousands of cellular components across a variety of scales, ranging from mRNA transcript levels to metabolite quantities. Methods are needed to not only integrate this omics data but to also use this data to heighten the predictive capabilities of computational mo...
