Abstract

Abstract. Bordbar A, Palsson BO (University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA). Using the reconstructed genome‐scale human metabolic network to study physiology and pathology (Key Symposium). J Intern Med 2012; 271: 131–141. Metabolism plays a key role in many major human diseases. Generation of high‐throughput omics data has ushered in a new era of systems biology. Genome‐scale metabolic network reconstructions provide a platform to interpret omics data in a biochemically meaningful manner. The release of the global human metabolic network, Recon 1, in 2007 has enabled new systems biology approaches to study human physiology, pathology and pharmacology. There are currently more than 20 publications that utilize Recon 1, including studies of cancer, diabetes, host–pathogen interactions, heritable metabolic disorders and off‐target drug binding effects. In this mini‐review, we focus on the reconstruction of the global human metabolic network and four classes of its application. We show that computational simulations for numerous pathologies have yielded clinically relevant results, many corroborated by existing or newly generated experimental data.

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.
