abcdeFBA (version 0.1)

DEGREE_MEASURE: DEGREE_MEASURE, measures the in-degree and out-degree of the metabolites in the network.

Description

this is a simple function to determine the degree measure, it uses the fba_object and computes and writes the measures to disk as a tab-separated spreadsheet

Usage

DEGREE_MEASURE(fba_object,file="Degree_measure")

Arguments

fba_object

is a list containing the data required to perform flux balance analysis. The elements of the list are mat which is the stoichiometric matrix, dir which gives the direction of the equality constraints, obj specifies the objective function for the s

file

a filename for the tab delimited output file which is generated by this function

Examples

#Determining the Degree Measure of the Core E.coli Metabolic Network
	data(Ecoli_core)	
	DEGREE_MEASURE(fba_object=Ecoli_core)
