  1. The underlying principle of RegrEx12 is the LASSO approach45, in which a regularization term can be controlled by the coefficient \(\lambda \). In RegrEx, it also controlled the number of reactions that were extracted from the initial genome-scale model. From a series of \(\lambda \) ranging between 0 and 0.15 with a step size of 0.01 an optimal value was given when the Pearson correlation between the predicted flux values and the transcriptomics data was maximum. For all three scenarios Li 1, Li 2 and Birnbaum this was checked for the (de)coupled models.
