iMAT
(model, expressionRxns, threshold_lb, threshold_ub, tol, core, logfile, runtime, epsilon)[source]¶ Uses the iMAT algorithm (Zur et al., 2010) to extract a context specific model using data. iMAT algorithm find the optimal trade-off between inluding high-expression reactions and removing low-expression reactions.
Usage
tissueModel = iMAT(model, expressionRxns, threshold_lb, threshold_ub)Inputs
- model – input model (COBRA model structure)
- expressionRxns – reaction expression, expression data corresponding to model.rxns. Note : If no gene-expression data are available for the reactions, set the value to -1
- threshold_lb – lower bound of expression threshold, reactions with expression below this value are “non-expressed”
- threshold_ub – upper bound of expression threshold, reactions with expression above this value are “expressed”
Optional inputs
- tol – minimum flux threshold for “expressed” reactions (default 1e-8)
- core – cell with reaction names (strings) that are manually put in the high confidence set (default - no core reactions)
- logfile – name of the file to save the MILP log (string)
- runtime – maximum solve time for the MILP (default value - 7200s)
- epsilon – value added/subtracted to upper/lower bounds (default 1)
Output
- tissueModel – extracted model
