Contents


This page contains all the programming code functions and the data we have used in order to generate our results. You can download each of the fourth section as a stand-alone framework and run in order to reproduce the result or investigate our methodology. Some of them requires third part free software (such as the Cobra Toolbox), you can find the links to download them in the description section. Some of them requires data or models previously developed by other groups but freely accessible, we state where and when these object have been used. All the code is enriched with comments for an easily understanding of functions and computational steps.


Restriction Enzymes Analysis

Download file: File:ETHZ-iGEM2008-GenomeStaticAnalysis.zip

Compute: This simulation downloads the genome annotation of E. coli K12 MG1655 from GenBank and restriction enzymes informations from REBASE. For each restriction enzyme, calculates the fragments generated by digesting the chromosome of the strain. It calculates statistics on various aspects, such as probability of having an essential gene per fragment.

Output: An array of records, each one containing statistical analysis for one of the restriction enzyme groups. Generates five plots that explain the statistical results.

Softwared needed: MATLAB with BioInformatics Toolbox.

Third part code: use of standard Bioinformatics Toolbox functions.
