Gene_del: Gene_del, a function to create Gene Deletion mutants

Description

Gene_del interprets the boolean rules inherent to the model and returns a mutant model when supplied with the Wild-type model and a vector of gene names to be deleted.

Usage

Gene_del(query_genes,fba_object,return_reactions)

Arguments

query_genes

query_genes should be a vector the elements of which are the genes that are to be deleted from the model.

fba_object

A flux balance model containing the necessary elements for simulation

return_reactions

a boolean specifying if the reaction numbers deleted as a consequence of the gene deletion should be returned or if the mutant model itself be returned by the function

Examples

#To create a mutant model .
{data(Ec_iAF1260_flux1)
	ho<-Gene_del(c("b3040"),Ec_iAF1260_flux1,return_reactions=TRUE)
}
