4.1 Data-based prerequisites
A preliminary yet critical challenge in applying computer modeling techniques to any biological system is having access to sufficient data to construct the foundational models. Repositories are well-established for common research species, such as Mus Musculus ,Drosophila melanogaster , Xenopus laevis and Danio rerio [8,9]; however, similar databases do not exist for the diversity of species consumed by humans. Therefore, one of the first areas information curation approaches must be applied in cultivated meat R&D is to generate databases for those species which are the focus of academic and industrial cultivated meat research. Here, modelers can work with stakeholders to create plans, protocols and workflows to transition data into Systems Biology Markup Languages (SBML).
