چکیده
1 Corresponding author Recent advances in molecular biology techniques, analytical methods and mathematical tools have led to a growing interest in using metabolic engineering to redirect metabolic fluxes for industrial and medical purposes. Metabolic engineering is referred to as the directed improvement of cellular properties through the modification of specific biochemical reactions or the introduction of new ones, with the use of recombinant DNA technology (Stephanopoulos, 1999). This multidisciplinary field draws principles from chemical engineering, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and computational sciences. The aim of this article is to give an overview of the various strategies and tools available for metabolic engineers and to review some of the recent work that has been conducted in our laboratories in the metabolic engineering area.

متن کاملDiabetes Prediction by Optimizing the Nearest Neighbor Algorithm Using Genetic Algorithm
Introduction: Diabetes or diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in body when the body does not produce insulin, and produced insulin cannot function normally. The presence of various signs and symptoms of this disease makes it difficult for doctors to diagnose. Data mining allows analysis of patients’ clinical data for medical decision making. The aim of this study was to provide a model fo...
