Model Sharing Strategies - One Day Mini-Workshop

Background:

Verifiability and reproducibility of scientific results and the ability to share models are key to collaborative scientific work. However, the typical model description published in peer-reviewed literature is not sufficient for model duplication. When it is, reproducing models is extremely labor intensive. Existing model frameworks are generally not designed to support interoperability or model sharing.

Reverse Diauxie Phenotype in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Revealed by Exometabolomics and Label-Free Proteomics.

Submitted by rosscarlson on

Microorganisms enhance fitness by prioritizing catabolism of available carbon sources using a process known as carbon catabolite repression (CCR). Planktonically grown Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to prioritize the consumption of organic acids including lactic acid over catabolism of glucose using a CCR strategy termed “reverse diauxie.” P. aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen with well-documented biofilm phenotypes that are distinct from its planktonic phenotypes.

Special Issue: Methods in Computational Biology.

Submitted by rosscarlson on
Biological systems are multiscale with respect to time and space, exist at the interface of biological and physical constraints, and their interactions with the environment are often nonlinear. These systems are being quantified in ever increasing detail using rapidly developing omics technologies; yet, it is difficult to predict the dynamic and spatial behavior of even the simplest model systems. Computational biology approaches are essential for leveraging the omics data to develop and test new theories on biological organization.
