From genomes to in silico cells via metabolic networks.
Genome-scale models of microbial cells: evaluating the consequences of constraints
TLDR
This work has shown that a constraint-based reconstruction and analysis approach provides a biochemically and genetically consistent framework for the generation of hypotheses and the testing of functions of microbial cells.
Predicting gene essentiality using genome-scale in silico models.
TLDR
This chapter introduces the constraint-based modeling approach and focuses on its application to computationally predicting gene essentiality.
Genome-scale in silico models of E. coli have multiple equivalent phenotypic states: assessment of correlated reaction subsets that comprise network states.
TLDR
Mixed-integer linear programming was used to calculate and study a subset of the alternate optimal solutions for a genome-scale metabolic model of Escherichia coli (iJR904) under a wide variety of environmental conditions and identified reactions which are used under significantly more environmental conditions suboptimally than optimally.
Constraint-based Genome-Scale In Silico Models for Systems Biology
TLDR
Systems biology can be viewed as a genome-scale science that is enabled by the development of highthroughput, or “omics” technologies.
Modeling microbes: New methods for integrated metabolic and regulatory network reconstruction
TLDR
An integrated genome-scale model for the metabolism and transcriptional regulation in B. subtilis is introduced and a new methodology for the inference of regulatory interactions from gene expression data is proposed, dubbed “atomic regulon inference”.
Use of genome-scale microbial models for metabolic engineering.
Generation and Evaluation of a Genome-Scale Metabolic Network Model of Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942
TLDR
A comprehensive approach has been used, which can be of interest to lead the process of manual curation and genome-scale metabolic analysis, and the applicability of the model is demonstrated by simulating autotrophic growth conditions of Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942.
Genome-scale bacterial transcriptional regulatory networks: reconstruction and integrated analysis with metabolic models
TLDR
This work discusses how regulatory networks can be reconstructed and integrated with metabolic models to improve model predictions and performance and explores the impact these integrated models can have in simulating phenotypes, optimizing the production of compounds of interest or paving the way to a whole-cell model.
Design and application of genome-scale reconstructed metabolic models.
In this chapter, the process for the reconstruction of genome-scale metabolic networks is described, and some of the main applications of such models are illustrated. The reconstruction process can…

Escherichia coli K-12 undergoes adaptive evolution to achieve in silico predicted optimal growth
TLDR
When placed under growth selection pressure, the growth rate of E. coli on glycerol reproducibly evolved from a sub-optimal value to the optimal growth rate predicted from a whole-cell in silico model, opening the possibility of using adaptive evolution of entire metabolic networks to realize metabolic states that have been determined a priori based on insilico analysis.
Transcriptional Regulation in Constraints-based Metabolic Models of Escherichia coli * 210
TLDR
The combined metabolic/regulatory model can predict the ability of mutant E. coli strains to grow on defined media as well as time courses of cell growth, substrate uptake, metabolic by-product secretion, and qualitative gene expression under various conditions, as indicated by comparison with experimental data under a variety of environmental conditions.
In silico predictions of Escherichia coli metabolic capabilities are consistent with experimental data
TLDR
This study demonstrates how the combination of in silico and experimental biology can be used to obtain a quantitative genotype–phenotype relationship for metabolism in bacterial cells.

TLDR
How the metabolic characteristics of annotated small genomes can be analyzed using flux balance analysis (FBA) is illustrated to show how FBA can be used to study the capabilities of this strain.

TLDR
Genome-scale metabolic networks can now be reconstructed based on annotated genomic data augmented with biochemical and physiological information about the organism, and transcriptional regulatory events are incorporated within FBA to further constrain the space of possible network functions.

TLDR

TLDR
It was shown that based on stoichiometric and capacity constraints the in silico analysis was able to qualitatively predict the growth potential of mutant strains in 86% of the cases examined.
