| What is metano? |
| metano is an open-source software toolbox for analyzing the capabilities of metabolic networks and for
assisting in metabolic reconstruction. The software is written in Python and is designed to be easy to use and run
reasonably fast. metano implements a set of basic tools for the analysis of metabolic networks, including
Flux Balance Analysis (FBA) and Minimization of Metabolic Adjustment (MOMA). In addition, metano provides
more advanced methods such as Flux Variability Analysis (FVA) and the automated analysis of all single-knockout
mutants. All methods are available both as Python functions and as stand-alone command line scripts, which take lists
of reactions in plain ASCII format as input. metano is designed to run in any Linux environment. Algorithms
with a long running time have been parallelized using MPI, which allows their execution on cluster computers. As all tools in metano are available as stand-alone scripts that require no adjustment of numerical parameters, it is very easy to use by modelers without any programming experience. |
