Merlin, an improved framework for the reconstruction of high-quality genome-scale metabolic models.

ABSTRACT: Genome-scale metabolic models have been recognised as useful tools for better understanding living organisms' metabolism. merlin (https://www.merlin-sysbio.org/) is an open-source and user-friendly resource that hastens the models' reconstruction process, conjugating manual and automatic procedures, while leveraging the user's expertise with a curation-oriented graphical interface. An updated and redesigned version of merlin is herein presented. Since 2015, several features have been implemented in merlin, along with deep changes in the software architecture, operational flow, and graphical interface. The current version (4.0) includes the implementation of novel algorithms and third-party tools for genome functional annotation, draft assembly, model refinement, and curation. Such updates
