Abstract

Genomic data allow the large-scale manual or semi-automated assembly of metabolic network reconstructions, which provide highly curated organism-specific knowledge bases. Although several genome-scale network reconstructions describe Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism, they differ in scope and content, and use different terminologies to describe the same chemical entities. This makes comparisons between them difficult and underscores the desirability of a consolidated metabolic network that collects and formalizes the 'community knowledge' of yeast metabolism. We describe how we have produced a consensus metabolic network reconstruction for S. cerevisiae. In drafting it, we placed special emphasis on referencing molecules to persistent databases or using database-independent forms, such as SMILES or InChI strings, as this permits their chemical structure to be represented unambiguously and in a manner that permits automated reasoning. The reconstruction is readily available via a publicly accessible database and in the Systems Biology Markup Language (http://www.comp-sys-bio.org/yeastnet). It can be maintained as a resource that serves as a common denominator for studying the systems biology of yeast. Similar strategies should benefit communities studying genome-scale metabolic networks of other organisms.

  • Ignoring most published papers is no longer realistic or necessary in an age of post-genomics, the internet, Web 2.0 and systems biology, and when we are starting to move to integrative models of organisms at a whole organ, genome or whole organism scale.

    “This is no longer realistic (nor necessary) in an age of post-genomics, the internet, Web 2.0 and systems biology, and when we are starting to move to integrative (if distributed) models of organisms (including humans) at a whole organ, genome or whole organism scale [118,2135,2407-2416].”
  • Integration of bibliographic, metabolomic, and genomic data has been used to reconstruct the dynamic range of metabolome flow of organisms, first in Escherichia coli and extended to yeast, mice, and humans.

    “For example, the integration of bibliographic, metabolomic, and genomic data have been used to reconstruct the dynamic range of metabolome flow of organisms, first performed in Escherichia coli [35] and since extended to yeast [36, 37] and to individual tissues in mice [38] and humans [39].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
