  • Protein flexibilization: When proteomic measurements are provided, individual protein levels will now be iteratively flexibilized by the pipeline if the model results to be overconstrained, based on a provided growth rate. After this, flexibilized protein exchange pseudoreaction upper bounds will be set to the their flux values from a parsimonious FBA simulation (PR #34).

  • Utilities: Included a folder with useful functions (PR #34).

• Fixes:

  • Fixes #14: CI is no longer failing, as model location, model naming and metabolite ID naming were corrected. test_adjust_pool_bounds was simplified to test with only 1 essential protein (PR #28).

1.2.1 (2018-05-30)

• Features:

  • All genes from the original yeast model now included in the .xml file. Genes connected to enzyme constraints are now stored in model.enzGenes in the .mat structure.

  • Docs badge in README.

• Fixes:

  • Fields grRules and rules fixed in a consistent way:

    • grRules for the backwards reactions are the same as for the forward ones.

    • For reactions catalyzed by just 1 enzyme (or complex), grRules of the original reactions are assigned to them.

    • For reactions catalyzed by more than 1 enzyme (or more than 1 complex), grRules of the original reactions are assigned to the arm reactions, and the corresponding sub-rules are assigned to the isozyme-controlled reactions.

    • For enzyme exchange reactions, grRules are assigned as thecorresponding gene ID.

    • The rules field is set equal to grRules for providing consistency with different toolboxes.

  • Inter-OS compatibility: * Numbers in scientific notation are stored in the .xml files with format Xe-0N, not Xe-00N, or with format Xe-1N, not Xe-01N, regardless of the OS used for generating them. * Numbers in all files are shown with up to 6 significant figures.

• Refactoring:

  • Updated to new COBRA standards for addReaction usage.

• NOTE: Not available in pypi (issue #14 unresolved)

1.2.0 (2018-04-12)

• Implemented automatic kcat flexibilization for over-constrained models:

  • Based on a maximum growth rate specified by the user, the algorithm iteratively identifies the top growth-limiting kcat value and changes it for the highest one in BRENDA (same EC number)

  • Once that the model is growing close to the set value, the average enzyme saturation factor is refitted

  • For non-feasible/zero-growth models, sensitivity analysis is performed on a reaction and enzyme basis rather than on individual kcat values

  • The outputs of this step are stored in topUsedEnzymes.txt and kcatModification.txt and can be used for further manual curation

• All databases updated (BRENDA, swissprot, KEGG, PaxDB)

• More generic gene/protein matching for compatibility with other models

• Re-organization of all output files in a single folder

• New badges + styling of website

• NOTE: Not available in pypi (issue #14 unresolved)

1.1.2 (2018-03-20)

• Improved kcat matching to BRENDA with:

  1. Specific activity

  2. Phylogenetic distance, when data for organism of choice is not available

• Switched to readthedocs for documentation: http://geckotoolbox.readthedocs.io

• Added a Gitter room for discussion: https://gitter.im/SysBioChalmers/GECKO

• Switched to a simplified GitFlow structure (master + devel + feature branches)

• Python 3.4 environment dropped in CI (no longer supported by pandas)

• NOTE: Not available in pypi (issue #14 unresolved)
