Published purpose
As part of the international consortium project “E!5305 FlavourGEM: FlavourGEM: Genome scale metabolic models to improve beer yeast flavour”, this project will focus on leveraging genome-scale metabolic models to identify targets for enhancing flavour profiles in ten brewing yeast strains. Using computational algorithms and deep learning, the project will pinpoint metabolic pathways for improvement. Validation will be conducted via CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and non-GM laboratory evolution. The ultimate goal is to produce beer strains with improved flavour traits.
