Guided extraction of genome-scale metabolic models for the integration and analysis of omics data.

ABSTRACT: Omics data can be integrated into a reference model using various model extraction methods (MEMs) to yield context-specific genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs). How to chose the appropriate MEM, thresholding rule and threshold remains a challenge. We integrated mouse transcriptomic data from a Cyp51 knockout mice diet experiment (GSE58271) using five MEMs (GIMME, iMAT, FASTCORE, INIT an tINIT) in a combination with a recently published mouse GEM iMM1865. Except for INIT and tINIT, the size of extracted models varied with the MEM used (t-test: p-value < 0.001). The Jaccard index of iMAT models ranged from 0.27 to 1.0. Out of the three factors under study in the experiment (diet, gender and genotype), gender explained most of the variability ( > 90%) in PC1 for FASTCORE. In iMAT, e
