gapseq

Informed prediction and analysis of bacterial metabolic pathways and genome-scale networks

gapseq is designed to combine metabolic pathway analysis with metabolic network reconstruction and curation. Based on genomic information and databases for pathways and reactions, gapseq can be used for:

• prediction of metabolic pathways from various databases
• transporter inference
• metabolic model construction
• multi-step gap filling

Installation

The latest release can be downloaded here. Besides this, the current development version can be accessed via:

git clone https://github.com/jotech/gapseq

Detailed information on installation and troubleshooting.

Quickstart

For detailed use cases and full tutorials, see the documentation.

Prediction of network candidate reactions, building of a draft model and gap filling:

./gapseq doall toy/myb71.fna

Do the same but with a defined medium for gap filling:

./gapseq doall toy/ecoli.fna.gz dat/media/MM_glu.csv
