Résumé
As part of the international consortium project “E!5305 FlavourGEM: FlavourGEM: Genome scale metabolic models to improve beer yeast flavour”, this project will focus on leveraging genome-scale metabolic models to identify targets for enhancing flavour profiles in ten brewing yeast strains. Using computational algorithms and deep learning, the project will pinpoint metabolic pathways for improvement. Validation will be conducted via CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and non-GM laboratory evolution. The ultimate goal is to produce beer strains with improved flavour traits.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre du projet de consortium international «E!5305 FlavourGEM : FlavourGEM : Genome scale metabolic models to improve beer yeast flavour», ce projet se concentrera sur l’exploitation de modèles métaboliques à l’échelle du génome pour identifier des cibles permettant d’améliorer les profils de saveur dans dix souches de levure de brasserie. À l’aide d’algorithmes informatiques et de l’apprentissage profond, le projet mettra en évidence les voies métaboliques à améliorer. La validation sera effectuée via l’édition du génome CRISPR/Cas9 et l’évolution en laboratoire sans OGM. L’objectif ultime est de produire des souches de bière présentant des caractéristiques gustatives améliorées.
