Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are digital blueprints that replicate microbes' inner workings, allowing researchers to simulate experiments, saving time and resources.
These virtual labs can explore metabolic pathways, tweaking and predicting microbial behavior in various environments, which could even extend to extraterrestrial settings.
Analyzing an organism's genome helps create GEMs, mapping all chemical reactions in cells, crucial for understanding how they convert nutrients into energy.
As GEM technology advances, its role in biotechnology, medicine, and space exploration will continue to grow, transforming our approach to these fields.
