Riboflavin Production Data
Description
This dataset contains measurements of riboflavin (vitamin B2) production by Bacillus subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium commonly used in industrial fermentation processes. The dataset includes
n = 71
observations with p = 4088
predictors, representing the logarithm of the expression levels of 4088 genes. The response variable is the log-transformed riboflavin production rate.
Usage
data(riboflavin)
Format
- y
Log-transformed riboflavin production rate (original name:
q_RIBFLV
). This is a continuous variable indicating the efficiency of riboflavin production by the bacterial strain.- x
A matrix of dimension
71 \times 4088
containing the logarithm of the expression levels of 4088 genes. Each column corresponds to a gene, and each row corresponds to an observation (experimental condition or time point).
Note
The dataset is provided by DSM Nutritional Products Ltd., a leading company in the field of nutritional ingredients. The data have been preprocessed and normalized to account for technical variations in the microarray measurements.
