A comprehensive genome‐scale reconstruction of Escherichia coli metabolism—2011

TL;DR: The initial genome‐scale reconstruction of the metabolic network of Escherichia coli K‐12 MG1655 was assembled in 2000 and an update has now been built, named iJO1366, which accounts for 1366 genes, 2251 metabolic reactions, and 1136 unique metabolites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraining the metabolic genotype–phenotype relationship using a phylogeny of in silico methods

TL;DR: This work describes a phylogeny of COBRA methods that has rapidly evolved from the few early methods, such as flux balance analysis and elementary flux mode analysis, into a repertoire of more than 100 methods, including antibiotic discovery, metabolic engineering and modelling of microbial community behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Creation and analysis of biochemical constraint-based models using the COBRA Toolbox v.3.0

TL;DR: This protocol provides an overview of all new features of the COBRA Toolbox and can be adapted to generate and analyze constraint-based models in a wide variety of scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI

A brief history of synthetic biology

TL;DR: This Timeline article charts the technological and cultural lifetime of synthetic biology, with an emphasis on key breakthroughs and future challenges.

Construction of Escherichia coli K-12 in-frame, single-gene knockout mutants: the Keio collection.

TL;DR: These mutants—the ‘Keio collection’—provide a new resource not only for systematic analyses of unknown gene functions and gene regulatory networks but also for genome‐wide testing of mutational effects in a common strain background, E. coli K‐12 BW25113.
Journal ArticleDOI

KEGG for linking genomes to life and the environment

TL;DR: KEGG PATHWAY is now supplemented with a new global map of metabolic pathways, which is essentially a combined map of about 120 existing pathway maps, and the KEGG resource is being expanded to suit the needs for practical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

A protocol for generating a high-quality genome-scale metabolic reconstruction.

TL;DR: This protocol provides a helpful manual for all stages of the reconstruction process and presents a comprehensive protocol describing each step necessary to build a high-quality genome-scale metabolic reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

A genome-scale metabolic reconstruction for Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 that accounts for 1260 ORFs and thermodynamic information.

TL;DR: 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.
