MeneTools 1.0.0

Metabolic Network Topology Tools. Analyze the topology of metabolic networks. Explore producibility, production paths and needed initiation sources

# MENETOOLS

MeneTools are Python3 tools to explore the topology of metabolic network to:
* assess whether targets are topologically producible (Menecheck)
* get all compounds that are topologically producible (Menescope)
* get production paths of specific compounds (Menepath)
* obtain compounds that if added to the seeds, would ensure the topological producibility of targets (Menecof)

Required package:
* ``pyasp`` (``pip install pyasp``)

## Install

```
python setup.py install
```

## MENECHECK

Menecheck is a python3 tool to get the topologically producibility status of target compounds

### usage

```
menecheck.py [-h] -d DRAFTNET -s SEEDS -t TARGETS

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DRAFTNET, --draftnet DRAFTNET
metabolic network in SBML format
-s SEEDS, --seeds SEEDS
seeds in SBML format
-t TARGETS, --targets TARGETS
targets in SBML format
```

## MENESCOPE

Menescope is a python3 tool to get the topologically reachable compounds from
seeds in a metabolic network.

### usage

```
menescope.py [-h] -d DRAFTNET -s SEEDS

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DRAFTNET, --draftnet DRAFTNET
metabolic network in SBML format
-s SEEDS, --seeds SEEDS
seeds in SBML format
```

## MENEPATH

Menepath is a python3 tool to get the topologically essential reactions with
respects to individual targets in metabolic networks.

### usage

```
menepath.py [-h] -d DRAFTNET -s SEEDS -t TARGETS

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DRAFTNET, --draftnet DRAFTNET
metabolic network in SBML format
-s SEEDS, --seeds SEEDS
seeds in SBML format
-t TARGETS, --targets TARGETS
targets in SBML format
```

### MENECOF

Menecof is a python3 tool to get the minimal set of cofactors that enables to
maximize the number f producible targets. Study of the metabolic network is made`
topologically using reachable compounds from seeds.

### usage

```
python menecof.py [-h] -d DRAFTNET -s SEEDS -t TARGETS [-c COFACTORS]
[--suffix SUFFIX] [--weight] [--enumerate]

the following arguments are required: -d/--draftnet, -s/--seeds, -t/--targets

optional arguments: --suffix --weight --enumerate -h/--help

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-d DRAFTNET, --draftnet DRAFTNET
metabolic network in SBML format

-s SEEDS, --seeds SEEDS
seeds in SBML format

-t TARGETS, --targets TARGETS
targets in SBML format

-c COFACTORS, --cofactors COFACTORS
cofactors, in one-per-line text file format

--suffix SUFFIX suffix to be added to the compounds of the database.
It can be the suffix for the cytosolic compartment or
external one. Cytosolic one is prefered to ensure the
impact of the added cofactors. Default = None

--weight call this option if cofactors are weighted according
to their occurrence frequency in database. If so,
cofactors file must be tabulated with per line
compound' 'occurrence

--enumerate enumerates all cofactors solutions
```
