This dataset contains measurements of riboflavin (vitamin B2) production by Bacillus subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium commonly used in industrial fermentation processes. The dataset includes
\(n = 71\) observations with \(p = 4088\) predictors, representing the logarithm of the expression levels of 4088 genes. The response variable is the log-transformed riboflavin production rate.

Arguments
Format
y
Log-transformed riboflavin production rate (original name: q_RIBFLV). This is a continuous variable indicating the efficiency of riboflavin production by the bacterial strain.
x
A matrix of dimension \(71 \times 4088\) containing the logarithm of the expression levels of 4088 genes. Each column corresponds to a gene, and each row corresponds to an observation (experimental condition or time point).
