A guide to integrating transcriptional regulatory and metabolic networks using PROM (probabilistic regulation of metabolism)

Methods Mol Biol. 2013:985:103-12. doi: 10.1007/978-1-62703-299-5_6.

Abstract

The integration of transcriptional regulatory and metabolic networks is a crucial step in the process of predicting metabolic behaviors that emerge from either genetic or environmental changes. Here, we present a guide to PROM (probabilistic regulation of metabolism), an automated method for the construction and simulation of integrated metabolic and transcriptional regulatory networks that enables large-scale phenotypic predictions for a wide range of model organisms.
