Data integration strategies for whole-cell modeling.

ABSTRACT: Data makes the world go round-and high quality data is a prerequisite for precise models, especially for whole-cell models (WCM). Data for WCM must be reusable, contain information about the exact experimental background, and should-in its entirety-cover all relevant processes in the cell. Here, we review basic requirements to data for WCM and strategies how to combine them. As a species-specific resource, we introduce the Yeast Cell Model Data Base (YCMDB) to illustrate requirements and solutions. We discuss recent standards for data as well as for computational models including the modeling process as data to be reported. We outline strategies for constructions of WCM despite their inherent complexity.
