Re: [DIYbio] Molecular Biologist looking for collaborator for a Metabolic Modelling Project

There's a decently active group that's dedicated to cobrapy:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cobra-pie

They might have a larger pool of experienced users.

Otherwise I've used cobrapy a few times before, and I'm happy to chat a bit more with what you're interested in doing.

I am a Molecular Biology Resarch Assistant based in Edinburgh and I recently came across an interesting paper where they used modelling for coming up with deletion strategies that allow increased production of cis-aconitic acid in E. coli (you can read all about it here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27269589). SInce I found this approach particularly powerful, I decided to do some modelling out of interest. I am planning on using the python package Cobrapy for this (http://opencobra.github.io/cobrapy/) as I don't know how to use MATLAB. After I will have identified some deletion strategies, I could test them directly as I have access to a lab. I was therefore wondering if there is anybody on here who has experience with this package or constraint-based modelling in general and would like to collaborate in this small project.
