What types of flux analysis can I perform?

You can perform standard Flux Balance Analysis (FBA), Parsimonious FBA (pFBA), Geometric FBA, and Flux Variability Analysis (FVA).

Can this skill help with gene knockout studies?

Yes, the skill includes specialized tools for single and double gene or reaction deletion studies to predict how knockouts affect growth and metabolism.

Is it possible to simulate different growth media?

Absolutely. The skill allows you to modify the model medium, calculate minimal media, and simulate metabolic behavior under aerobic or anaerobic conditions.

What is COBRApy used for?

COBRApy is used for constraint-based reconstruction and analysis (COBRA) of metabolic models, essential for systems biology research and metabolic engineering.

Does it support SBML models?

Yes, COBRApy provides full support for reading and writing SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language) models, as well as JSON and YAML formats.
