BOFdat: generating biomass objective function stoichiometric coefficients from experimental data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Genome-scale models (GEMs) rely on a biomass objective function (BOF) to predict phenotype from genotype. Here we present BOFdat, a Python package that offers functions to generate biomass objective function stoichiometric coefficients (BOFsc) from macromolecular cell composition and relative abundances of macromolecules obtained from omic datasets. Growth-associated and non-growth associated maintenance (GAM and NGAM) costs can also be calculated by BOFdat. BOFdat is freely available on the Python Package Index (pip install BOFdat). The source code and an example usage (Jupyter Notebook and example files) are available on GitHub ( https://github.com/jclachance/BOFdat ). The documentation and API are available through ReadTheDocs ( https://bofdat.readthedocs.io ).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
