#NewNProt Using COMETS (Computation Of Microbial Ecosystems in Time and Space) to generate simulations of multiple microbial species in molecularly complex and spatially structured environments https://t.co/9yYTWaCCww #microbialcommunities #computational #modeling

[Ali R. Zomorrodi @arzomorrodi]

New version of COMETS to simulate #microbialCommunities in spatially heterogenous environments using #GEMs of #metabolism. Such a beautiful work from the lab of my former postdoctoral adviser @dsegre!!

[William Harcombe @HarcombeLab]

Great to see the new version of COMETS published. It was really fun getting to collaborate with this team. @idouk, @metaboli3am, @JeremyMChacon, and Mike Quintin did some heavy lifting with lots of support from Korolev lab, @asanchez_lab, and @segrelab.

[Djordje Bajić @metaboli3am]

Thrilled to finally see this out! What a privilege it has been working on this together with @segrelab, @HarcombeLab and Korolev lab. Looking forward to developing new functionalities, and to all the exciting new questions that @RunCOMETS is going to allow us explore!

[Alvaro Sanchez @asanchez_lab]

Very excited to see this out & to explore all the possibilities this new version of COMETS will open. Massive congrats to the amazing @dsegre, @idouk @metaboli3am @JeremyMChacon & Mike Quintin & all other co-authors from BU & @HarcombeLab. Has been a privilege to work with them.

#COMETS was made possible by funding from @doescience. Development of specific functionalities was enabled also by grants from @NIH, @NSF, @HFSP and others. 6/6

[segrelab_news @segrelab]

We hope #COMETS will continue to grow as a collaborative tool with new biological modules and capabilities. Check @RunCOMETS for updates, https://t.co/JOyTUpsbyx for feedback, questions and discussions, and let us know if you want to contribute! 5/6

New #COMETS includes improved biophysics of biomass expansion, evolutionary dynamics, day-night cycles for photosynthesis, extracellular enzymes. Coded in #Java, but easy to run with #Matlab and #Python toolboxes. Compatible with #COBRA tools. Free at https://t.co/q7N5IQfkF6 4/6

[segrelab_news @segrelab]

#COMETS enables computer simulations of multiple species interacting with the environment and each other through competition/exchange of metabolites. This is dictated by resource allocation in organisms, as a function of metabolic stoichiometry encoded in their genomes. 3/6

Our comprehensive guide to #COMETS (Computation Of Microbial Ecosystems in Time and Space) is out at @NatureProtocols. Read at https://t.co/B56rp7DRXA. We hope you will find it useful for #modeling the dynamics of #metabolism in microbial communities. #dFBA #microbiomes. 1/6
