rFASTCORMICS permits the fast reconstruction of models The models were reconstructed using as input the TCGA dataset and Recon 2 for rFASTCORMICS. The average running time per model was around 2.8 min on a computer with an Intel(R)Xeon(R)CPU E3 1241-v3@ 3.50 GHZ processor running in parallel on 4 cores. Only tissues with at least 20 control samples were considered for the analysis.
