Secret garden
Congratulations! You've found our secret garden! Follow the instructions below and win a great prize at the World jamboree!
- A video shows that two of our team members are having great fun at our favourite company. Do you know the name of the second member that appears in the video?
- For one of our models we had to do very extensive computations. To prevent our own computers from overheating and to keep the temperature in our iGEM room at a normal level, we used a supercomputer. Which centre maintains this supercomputer? (Dutch abbreviation)
- We organised a symposium with a debate, some seminars and 2 iGEM project presentations. An iGEM team came all the way from the Netherlands to present their project. What is the name of their city?
Now put all of these in this URL:https://2013.igem.org/Team:KU_Leuven/(firstname)(abbreviation)(city), (loose the brackets and put everything in lowercase) and follow the very last instruction to get your special jamboree prize!

COBRA stands for Constraint-Based Reconstruction and Analysis (COBRA) approach. This approach provides a biochemically and genetically consistent framework for the generation of hypotheses and the testing of functions of microbial cells. Probably the most used analysis in COBRA is the Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) which will be discussed in more detail below.
COBRA has been successfully applied to study the possible phenotypes that arise from a genome (Covert, Schilling et al. 2001). COBRA consists of two fundamental steps. First, a GENRE (=GEnome-scale Network REconstruction) is formed, and second, the appropriate constraints are applied to form the corresponding GEMS (GEnome-scale Model in Silico). Cellular functions can be limited by different types of constraints in a biological system: e.g. physico-chemical constraints, topo-biological, environmental and regulatory constraints.
