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
