Guides

Curated, worked guides for common genome-scale metabolic modelling tasks. Step-by-step protocols are provided in both MATLAB and Python with code shown in MATLAB/Python tabs so you can follow along in either language.

Protocols

  • GEM reconstruction

    Homology-based reconstruction of a genome-scale model for the yeast Hansenula polymorpha (hanpo-GEM), end to end — from template models to a growing, methylotrophic draft model.

Planned

These protocols are being added with MATLAB and Python variants:

  • GEM extraction — extracting context-specific models.
  • GEM comparison — comparing two models side by side.

Legacy tutorials

Five hands-on tutorials from the original RAVEN paper (Agren et al., 2013), updated to run with current RAVEN. MATLAB only.

# Tutorial Topic
1 Import a GEM and run FBA Load a model, set constraints, run FBA
2 Build a small model Build from scratch in Excel
3 Knockouts, MOMA and omics Gene deletions, MOMA, microarray data
4 Fix an erroneous model Quality control and curation
5 Reconstruct from KEGG De novo reconstruction from KEGG
