Modeling Updates:VT iGEM Project 2007: Engineering an Epidemic |
Introduction: Modeling the EpidemicOur Model of infection with and spread of an epidemic has two major levels:
UpdatesModel Level 1: Gene Network Model We decided to put the work on the gene network model on hold because the model is very complex and difficult to accurately construct and its impact on the overall results is questionable. Thus we are focusing our attention on other more vital aspects of the project for now and will hopefully return to working on this model towards the end of the summer if time permits.
