Metabolic pathways variability and sequence/networks comparisons [PDF]
Background In this work a simple method for the computation of relative similarities between homologous metabolic network modules is presented. The method is similar to classical sequence alignment and allows for the generation of phenotypic trees ...

Analysis on relationship between extreme pathways and correlated reaction sets [PDF]
Background Constraint-based modeling of reconstructed genome-scale metabolic networks has been successfully applied on several microorganisms. In constraint-based modeling, in order to characterize all allowable phenotypes, network-based pathways, such ...

Advances in network-based metabolic pathway analysis and gene expression data integration [PDF]
With the emergence of metabolic networks, novel mathematical pathway concepts were introduced in the past decade, aiming to go beyond canonical maps. However, the use of network-based pathways to interpret 'omics' data has been limited owing to the fact that their computation has, until very recently, been infeasible in large (genome-scale) metabolic ...

Reconstruction of phyletic trees by global alignment of multiple metabolic networks [PDF]
Background In the last decade, a considerable amount of research has been devoted to investigating the phylogenetic properties of organisms from a systems-level perspective. Most studies have focused on the classification of organisms based on structural

Modular decomposition of metabolic reaction networks based on flux analysis and pathway projection [PDF]
AbstractMotivation: The rational decomposition of biochemical networks into sub-structures has emerged as a useful approach to study the design of these complex systems. A biochemical network is characterized by an inhomogeneous connectivity distribution, which gives rise to several organizational features, including modularity.

Metabolomics and metabolic pathway networks from human colorectal cancers, adjacent mucosa, and stool [PDF]
Colorectal cancers (CRC) are associated with perturbations in cellular amino acids, nucleotides, pentose-phosphate pathway carbohydrates, and glycolytic, gluconeogenic, and tricarboxylic acid intermediates. A non-targeted global metabolome approach was utilized for exploring human CRC, adjacent mucosa, and stool.
