The Microbiome Modeling Toolbox: from microbial interactions to personalized microbial communities

The application of constraint-based modeling to functionally analyze metagenomic data has been limited so far, partially due to the absence of suitable toolboxes.
To address this gap, we created a comprehensive toolbox to model i) microbe-microbe and host-microbe metabolic interactions, and ii) microbial communities using microbial genome-scale metabolic reconstructions and metagenomic data. The Microbiome Modeling Toolbox extends the functionality of the COBRA Toolbox.
