Integration of graph neural networks and genome-scale metabolic models for predicting gene essentiality.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-scale metabolic models are powerful tools for understanding cellular physiology. Flux balance analysis (FBA), in particular, is an optimization-based approach widely employed for predicting metabolic phenotypes. In model microbes such as Escherichia coli, FBA has been successful at predicting essential genes, i.e. those genes that impair survival when deleted. A central assumption in this approach is that...
