Genome Scale Analysis

In the Restriction Enzymes Analysis modeling section we deal with the analysis of restriction enzymes effects on the genome from the simple point of view of nucleotide sequences and cutting patterns. This is not informative enough when we try to understand if the key principles of reduction and selection at the base of our minimal genome approach are valid in the context of the whole cell response. It is evident that our selection method for smaller genome size strains is based on the assumption that is possible to control growth rate as a function of its genome size. As explained in the Project Overview
