New software tool fosters quality control of genome-scale models of metabolism

The lack of common standards and problems with reproducing and verifying existing datasets are widespread in the biotech community. However, a new tool named Memote paves the way for quality testing computational models that can predict how an organism’s metabolism responds to different conditions and genetic changes.

Software tools help companies to engineer microbes efficiently

Establishing performant cell factories by trial-and-error may possibly lead to frustration and the loss of the single most valuable resource, our time. But what if there was a way to eliminate dead-end strategies before spending weeks in the lab? Here are three tools, that together allow you to do just that.

Using big “bio-data” to design better cell factories

The EU has granted 6.3 million Euros to the project DD-DeCaF, coordinated by the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability, Technical University of Denmark. The objective is to develop a computer tool that will allow biotech companies to design and engineer cell factories faster than is currently possible today. The tool will...
