PROJECT
What is Alpha Ant?
Already got a brilliant idea in metabolic engineering?
Too much information to search?
Still,
You need Alpha Ant as a guide
Background
Pathway engineering has proven indispensible in synthetic biology for its utility in design of microbes for generating value-added products, which is also the ultimate goal of our project. The core idea is to design and reconstruct pathway for proper use, including introducing heterologous metabolic reaction into a host organism, optimizing genetic processes within cells, modeling for yield prediction, flux balance analysis and so on.
However, it’s quite a challenge to reach high yield and productivity while balancing the metabolic burden in certain organism. For example, it can require sorting through thousands of possible reactions and enzymes. Also, it requires evaluation and simulation of pathway using in silico analysis. Of course, wet-lab experiments are necessary for pathway validation.
