Reuse Escher maps with other models #7

Closed jonrkarr closed 2 years ago

jonrkarr commented 2 years ago

Escher maps have only been created for a few models. But many of those maps can substantially be reused with other models. For example, the E. coli maps for the Orth model can substantially be used with older models. The Escher software supports such reuse, and so does BioSimulations.

One (minor) limitation is that alternative models don't make predictions for each mapped reaction. In that case, some edges in maps wouldn't be painted with flux predictions. Instead, they would be colored grey. The grey would indicate mapped reactions that are beyond the scope of the model.
