We are the 2009 University of Illinois Tools Track Team;
project description and more to be added!

A37cw3.jpg
This is the first software tools team from Illinois (Not the backstreet boys). We are comprised of Biology, Bioengineering, and Chemical Engineering majors. With limited programming and synthetic biology experience we have been learning a lot along the way. Our wiki is a total joke but Nate will make it awesome in the near-future.

Our tool will utilize the Kegg database of reactions to create a metabolic pathway that is in some sense optimized for the production of a desired by-product while consuming some desired input. We will most likely create a list of toxic pollutants as our input to the pathway and have value added products such as biofuels as the product. The goal is to create a network of reactions that connect our input to output and then to determine an optimal path. We are going to focus this task on one or two hosts (most likely E. Coli or Yeast). Constraint based reconstruction analysis (COBRA) will be used to determine the production rates of our product. The goal is to hopefully link together reactions in such a way that production and biomass growth are working together (thus it is favorable for the host to be producing). Long-term we hope to then determine what intermediate BioBricks would be necessary to activate the required enzymes for production. In future years, this tool may be useful for our wetlab team to predict some of their metabolic engineering ventures.

This product description should be updated.
