...Complexation of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins is a prevailing and highly conserved mechanism of signal integration within critical regulatory pathways and enable to infer controlled genes as well as the exerted regulatory mechanism. We developed DACO (domain-aware cohesiveness optimization), a novel algorithm that combines protein-protein interaction networks and domain-domain interaction networks with the cluster-quality metric cohesiveness. The metric is locally maximized on the holistic level of protein interactions while sophisticated connectivity constraints on the domain level are utilized to account for the exclusive and thus inherently combinatorial nature of the interactions within such assemblies. ...

OptFlux is an open-source and modular software aimed at being the reference computational application in the field. It is the first tool to incorporate strain optimization tasks, i.e., the identification of Metabolic Engineering targets.

GeneticAlgorithms is a simple and lightweight framework to implement an optimization heuristic following the Genetic Algorithms model. A genetic algorithm mimics the natural processes of evolution, selection and "survival of the fittest". This framework is intuitive and good integrated with Java 1.5 SDK and later.

...Apply significance tests to filter out only significant genes or time series. Cluster time series into similar groups. Generate network models, including linear or non-linear models. Variable selection and optimization routines included. Written in Scala and R. The application is a cross-platform desktop app with a simple GUI and is fully functional currently. The app was and is developed at the University of Rochester (http://cbim.urmc.rochester.edu) under the GPL 3.0 license. This is a fork of that project.

...The main function of the software at the current development stage is to optimize genes to be transformed into the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast genome although it can be used to optimize genes into other hosts as well. The main tool in CUO, Moptimizer, introduces a semi-automatic way of gene optimization which provides more flexibility and accuracy during the optimization process. The future plan for CUO is to be developed into a multipurpose bioinformatics software where data, findings, planning and learning in biology labs can be created and shared at finger tips.

This projects intends to develop a complete distributed peer-to-peer environment for running heuristic optimization, modelling, artificial life, etc applications. This involves a network engine, libraries and different user interfaces. All this in java.
