Mining bio-models for synthetic biology design

Engineering of microbes for various applications require lots of prior information. Bio Models database (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels/) has become a rich resource in which it captures many possible biochemical reactions in a form of mathematical models. It will be extremely useful to be able to m...
