Overview

Teaching: 15 min
Exercises: 30 min

Questions

• Can computational strain design algorithms outperform humans in enumerating promising strategies using metabolic models?

Objectives

• Upload and analyze physiology data to the platform.

• Manually construct strain designs.

Please familiarize yourself with the documentation (“Getting started”) available at https://app.dd-decaf.eu/.

You will also need to download the following example data.

Key Points

• Ideally, computer-aided design software would aid bench biologists in cell factory engineering. Existing software is still not on par with programming libraries such as cameo and cobrapy in terms of features and flexibility.
