Abstrakt: Motivation: Manual curation of genome-scale reconstructions is laborious, yet existing automated curation tools do not typically take species-specific experimental and curated genomic data into account.
Results: We developed Data-drivEn METabolic nEtwork Refinement (DEMETER), a Constraint-Based Reconstruction and Analysis (COBRA) Toolbox extension, which enables the efficient, simultaneous refinement of thousands of draft genome-scale reconstructions, while ensuring adherence to the quality standards in the field, agreement with available experimental data and refinement of pathways based on manually refined genome annotations.
