Fifteen years of large scale metabolic modeling of yeast: Developments and impacts
Review article, 2012

Since the first large-scale reconstruction of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolic network 15 years ago the development of yeast metabolic models has progressed rapidly, resulting in no less than nine different yeast genome-scale metabolic models. Here we review the historical development of large-scale mathematical modeling of yeast metabolism and the growing scope and impact of applications of these models in four different areas: as guide for metabolic engineering and strain improvement, as a tool for biological interpretation and discovery, applications of novel computational framework and for evolutionary studies.
