Research Projects
Fast-SL
- Fast-SL enables an efficient enumeration of higher order synthetic lethals in metabolic networks, which may help uncover previously unknown genetic interactions and combinatorial drug targets. Fast-SL is compatible with the COBRA toolbox for MATLAB and LP solvers such as Gurobi.
PathwayAnalyser
- PathwayAnalyser interfaces with the open-source GNU Linear Programming Toolkit (GLPK) for linear programming/FBA and Object Oriented Quadratic Programming (OOQP) for quadratic programming/ MoMA. It gives a comprehensive report on gene deletions based on an input Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) Model and objective function. PathwayAnalyser is here
more for historic purposes --- for any FBA-based analysis, one must be using
the COBRA toolbox.
Personal Projects
StotraSamhita
- StotraSamhita.net is a mediawiki-based website for displaying Indian languaged texts (mostly Sanskrit) in a few Indian languages. Since it is wiki-based, it is easy to correct errors and proofread Sanskrit texts. The GitHub repo also features beautifully typeset PDFs for several Sanskrit stotras.
