Metabolites and genes are easier to update or add annotation as reactions because they show little redundancy (i.e. every metabolite is chemically unique in Bigg). Reactions in Bigg instead are often duplicated (there are more than 28,000 in total, many of them extremely similar). Could use regular expressions to match highly similar reaction.name or reaction.reaction .
latest commit 73dd268 addressed some of these reactions by removing 29 perfectly duplicated reactions (same reaction under different ID). Reaction names were capitalized to allow more matches with Bigg references.
