Popis: | Introduction For over ten years, the ModelSEED has been a primary resource for researchers endeavoring to construct draft genome-scale metabolic models based on annotated microbial or plant genomes. As described here, and now being released, the ModelSEED biochemistry database serves as the foundation of biochemical data underlying the ModelSEED and KBase. Objectives The ModelSEED biochemistry database embodies several properties that, taken together, distinguish it from other published biochemistry resources by being: (i) a database to serve metabolic modeling by including compartmentalization, transport reactions, charged molecules, proton balancing on reactions, and templates for model species; (ii) extensible by the user community, with all data stored in GitHub; and (iii) designed as a biochemical “Rosetta Stone” to facilitate comparison and integration of annotations from many different tools and databases. Methods The ModelSEED was constructed by combining chemistry from many resources, applying standard transformations to data, identifying overlapping compounds and reactions, and computing thermodynamic properties. The ModelSEED biochemistry is continually tested using flux balance analysis to ensure the biochemical network is modeling-ready and capable of simulating diverse phenotypes. We also develop ontologies designed to aid in comparing and reconciling metabolic reconstructions that differ in how they represent various metabolic pathways. Results The current ModelSEED includes 33,978 compounds and 36,645 reactions, made available in an extensible set of files on GitHub, and visualized via the web from the ModelSEED and KBase. Conclusion This database serves as a transparent source of biochemistry data to broadly support mechanistic modeling and data integration. |
