Using Genome-scale Models to Predict Biological Capabilities

Open access
O’Brien, Edward J., Monk, Jonathan M., Palsson, Bernhard O.·2015·Cell

Abstract

Constraint-based reconstruction and analysis (COBRA) methods at the genome-scale have been under development since the first whole genome sequences appeared in the mid-1990s. A few years ago this approach began to demonstrate the ability to predict a range of cellular functions including cellular growth capabilities on various substrates and the effect of gene knockouts at the genome-scale. Thus, much interest has developed in understanding and applying these methods to areas such as metabolic engineering, antibiotic design, and organismal and enzyme evolution. This primer will get you started.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
