FastSL

Fast-SL is an efficient algorithm to identify synthetic lethal gene/reaction sets in genome-scale metabolic models.

Requirements

To perform synthetic lethality analysis using Fast-SL the following tools are needed:

  1. COBRA Toolbox
  2. A linear programming (LP) solver such as Gurobi, GLPK etc.
  3. CPLEX v12.0 or higher for the parallel version of Fast-SL. For the serial version of Fast-SL, any COBRA-supported solver can be used. CPLEX is available free for academics from IBM
