popFBA: tackling intratumour heterogeneity with Flux Balance Analysis
Motivation Intratumour heterogeneity poses many challenges to the treatment of cancer. Unfortunately, the transcriptional and metabolic information retrieved by currently available computational and experimental techniques portrays the average behaviour of intermixed and heterogeneous cell subpopulations within a given tumour. Emerging single-cell genomic analyses are nonetheless unable to char...
متن کاملInvestigating intratumour heterogeneity by single-cell sequencing.
Intratumour heterogeneity is a longstanding field of focus for both researchers and clinicians. It refers to the diversity amongst cells within the same tumour. Two major hypotheses have attempted to explain the existence of intratumour heterogeneity: (i) the clonal evolution (CE) theory and (ii) the cancer stem cell (CSC) model. CE theory emphasizes the evolutionary biological characteristics ...
متن کاملFinding Drug Targets with Flux Balance Analysis
Flux balance analysis (FBA) is an in silico metabolic analysis technique that has been used to identify potential drug targets in pathogens (disease-causing organisms) by determining essential biochemical reactions in these organisms [1]. To do this, previous studies have generally focused on completely removing each reaction in turn and checking if the pathogens can still survive, without quan...
متن کاملAdvances in flux balance analysis.
Biology is going through a paradigm shift from reductionist to holistic, systems-based approaches. The complete genome sequence for a number of organisms is available and the analysis of genome sequence data is proving very useful. Thus, genome sequencing projects and bioinformatic analyses are leading to a complete 'parts catalog' of the molecular components in many organisms. The next challen...
متن کاملConstrained Allocation Flux Balance Analysis
New experimental results on bacterial growth inspire a novel top-down approach to study cell metabolism, combining mass balance and proteomic constraints to extend and complement Flux Balance Analysis. We introduce here Constrained Allocation Flux Balance Analysis, CAFBA, in which the biosynthetic costs associated to growth are accounted for in an effective way through a single additional genom...
