TLDR
An updated genome‐scale reconstruction of the metabolic network in Escherichia coli K‐12 MG1655 with increased scope and computational capability is presented, expected to broaden the spectrum of both basic biology and applied systems biology studies of E. coli metabolism.Abstract:
An updated genome-scale reconstruction of the metabolic network in Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 is presented. This updated metabolic reconstruction includes: (1) an alignment with the latest genome annotation and the metabolic content of EcoCyc leading to the inclusion of the activities of 1260 ORFs, (2) characterization and quantification of the biomass components and maintenance requirements associated with growth of E. coli and (3) thermodynamic information for the included chemical reactions. The conversion of this metabolic network reconstruction into an in silico model is detailed. A new step in the metabolic reconstruction process, termed thermodynamic consistency analysis, is introduced, in which reactions were checked for consistency with thermodynamic reversibility estimates. Applications demonstrating the capabilities of the genome-scale metabolic model to predict high-throughput experimental growth and gene deletion phenotypic screens are presented. The increased scope and computational capability using this new reconstruction is expected to broaden the spectrum of both basic biology and applied systems biology studies of E. coli metabolism.read more

TL;DR: The constraint-based reconstruction and analysis toolbox as discussed by the authors is a software package running in the Matlab environment, which allows for quantitative prediction of cellular behavior using a constraintbased approach and allows predictive computations of both steady-state and dynamic optimal growth behavior, the effects of gene deletions, comprehensive robustness analyses, sampling the range of possible cellular metabolic states and the determination of network modules.

Link communities reveal multiscale complexity in networks
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that link communities are fundamental building blocks that reveal overlap and hierarchical organization in networks, and show that a large social network contains hierarchically organized community structures spanning inner-city to regional scales while maintaining pervasive overlap.

Modelling and analysis of gene regulatory networks
Guy Karlebach,Ron Shamir +1 more
TL;DR: Gene regulatory networks have an important role in every process of life, including cell differentiation, metabolism, the cell cycle and signal transduction, and by understanding the dynamics of these networks the authors can shed light on the mechanisms of diseases that occur when these cellular processes are dysregulated.
