MACAW: a method for semi-automatic detection of errors in genome-scale metabolic models
Genome-scale metabolic models (GSMMs) are used to predict metabolic fluxes, with applications ranging from identifying novel drug targets to engineering microbial metabolism. Erroneous or missing reactions, scattered throughout densely interconnected networks, are a limiting factor in these applications. We present Metabolic Accuracy Check and Analysis Workflow (MACAW), a suite of algorithms that helps to identify and visualize errors at the level of connected pathways, rather than individual reactions. We show how MACAW highlights inaccuracies of varying severity in manually curated and automatically generated GSMMs for humans, yeast, and bacteria and helps to identify systematic issues to be addressed in future model construction efforts.
