Can I perform gene knockout studies with COBRApy?

Yes, it includes functions for single and double gene/reaction deletions to evaluate the impact of genetic changes on metabolic flux and growth.

Which model formats are compatible with this skill?

It supports standard formats including SBML (.xml), JSON (.json), and YAML (.yml), making it compatible with major model repositories like BiGG.

How are temporary model changes handled?

The skill utilizes Python context managers, ensuring that any temporary modifications to bounds or objectives are automatically reverted after the analysis is complete.

What is the primary use of the COBRApy skill?

The COBRApy skill is used for constraint-based reconstruction and analysis of metabolic networks, allowing for simulations like Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) to predict cellular behavior.

Does this skill support parallel processing?

Yes, computationally intensive tasks such as flux sampling and double gene deletions support multi-processing to improve performance.
