Feeding the Genome: In Silico Optimization of Dietary Amino Acid Composition

Publication date: 7 March 2017
Source:Cell Metabolism, Volume 25, Issue 3
Author(s): Michael R. MacArthur, James R. Mitchell
Optimizing dietary amino acid ratios to achieve maximal growth and reproduction has historically required tedious empirical studies. In this issue, Piper et al. (2017) present an in silico method of essential amino acid optimization based on the translated portion of an organism's genome, or exome.
