Abstract

The Human Genome Project and other major genomic sequencing projects have pushed the development of sequencing technology. In the past six years alone, instrument throughput has increased 15-fold. New technologies are now on the horizon that could yield massive increases in our capacity for de novo DNA sequencing. This review presents a summary of state-of-the-art technologies for genomic sequencing and describes technologies that may be candidates for the next generation of DNA sequencing instruments.

Modeling and simulation: tools for metabolic engineering.

Mathematical modeling is one of the key methodologies of metabolic engineering. Based on a given metabolic model different computational tools for the simulation, data evaluation, systems analysis, prediction, design and optimization of metabolic systems have been developed. The currently used metabolic modeling approaches can be subdivided into structural models, stoichiometric models, carbon flux models, stationary and nonstationary mechanistic models and models with gene regulation. However, the power of a model strongly depends on its basic modeling assumptions, the simplifications made and the data sources used. Model validation turns out to be particularly difficult for metabolic systems. The different modeling approaches are critically reviewed with respect to their potential and benefits for the metabolic engineering cycle. Several tools that have emerged from the different modeling approaches including structural pathway synthesis, stoichiometric pathway analysis, metabolic flux analysis, metabolic control analysis, optimization of regulatory architectures and the evaluation of rapid sampling experiments are discussed.

Optimizing bioconversion pathways through systems analysis and metabolic engineering.

We demonstrate a general approach for metabolic engineering of biocatalytic systems comprising the uses of a chemostat for strain improvement and radioisotopic tracers for the quantification of pathway fluxes. Flux determination allows the identification of target pathways for modification as validated by subsequent overexpression of the corresponding gene. We demonstrate this method in the indene bioconversion network of Rhodococcus modified for the overproduction of 1,2-indandiol, a key precursor for the AIDS drug Crixivan.

Evaluation in the design of health information systems: application of approaches emerging from usability engineering.

This paper examines the role of evaluation in the design of health care information systems. A framework is presented for considering evaluation in the context of software development processes, in particular, the systems development life cycle (SDLC). Variations on standard design methodologies are then discussed, including methods based on rapid development and continual evaluation of prototype systems. Usability testing is presented as a key method for conducting evaluations during iterative system development. The emergence of design methodologies, where evaluation is viewed as a central part of the development cycle is also discussed. Evaluation methodologies are then considered along a continuum, ranging from studies involving a high degree of experimental control to observational approaches. A full cycle approach to evaluation of health care systems is argued for, involving deployment of new methods across the SDLC. Implications for future work exploring the integration of design and evaluation processes in health informatics are discussed.
