MBA
(model, medium_set, high_set, tol)[source]¶ Uses the MBA algorithm (Jerby et al., 2010) to extract a context specific model using data. MBA algorithm defines high-confidence reactions to ensure activity in the extracted model. Medium confidence reactions are only kept when a certain parsimony trade-off is met. In random order, the algorithm prunes other reactions and removes them if not required to support high- or medium- confidence reactions.
Usage
tissueModel = MBA(model, medium_set, high_set)Inputs
- model – input model (COBRA model structure)
- medium_set – list of reactions with medium confidence
- high_set – list of reactions with high confidence
Optional input
- tol – minimum flux threshold for “expressed” reactions (default 1e-8)
Output
- tissueModel – extracted model
