Abstract excerpt
Affordable sequencing has flooded public databases with bacterial genomes; yet, species-scale maps that connect gene content variation to metabolic functions essential to biotechnology/system biology remain scarce. We address this gap by building a pangenome-wide gene-protein-reaction association and applying it to 2377 Escherichia coli genomes to reconstruct a pangenome-scale metabolic model (panGEM). We...
