Following a strategy similar to that used in baker's yeast (Herrgård et al. Nat Biotechnol 26:1155-1160, 2008). A consensus yeast metabolic network obtained from a community approach to systems biology (Herrgård et al. 2008; Dobson et al. BMC Syst Biol 4:145, 2010). Further developments towards a genome-scale metabolic model of yeast (Dobson et al. 2010; Heavner et al. BMC Syst Biol 6:55, 2012). Yeast 5-an expanded reconstruction of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolic network (Heavner et al. 2012) and in Salmonella typhimurium (Thiele et al. BMC Syst Biol 5:8, 2011). A community effort towards a knowledge-base and mathematical model of the human pathogen Salmonellatyphimurium LT2 (Thiele et al. 2011), a recent paper (Thiele et al. Nat Biotechnol 31:419-425, 2013). A community-driven global reconstruction of human metabolism (Thiele et al. 2013) described a much improved 'community consensus' reconstruction of the human metabolic network, called Recon 2, and the authors (that include the present ones) have made it freely available via a database at http://humanmetabolism.org/ and in SBML format at Biomodels (http://identifiers.org/biomodels.db/MODEL1109130000). This short analysis summarises the main findings, and suggests some approaches that will be able to exploit the availability of this model to advantage.

A comprehensive biochemical knowledge-base on human metabolism, this community-driven, consensus metabolic reconstruction integrates metabolic information from five different resources: * Recon 1, a global human metabolic reconstruction (Duarte et al, PNAS, 104(6), 1777-1782, 2007) * EHMN, Edinburgh Human Metabolic Network (Hao et al., BMC Bioinformatics 11, 393, 2010) * HepatoNet1, a liver metabolic reconstruction (Gille et al., Molecular Systems Biology 6, 411, 2010), * Ac/FAO module, an acylcarnitine/fatty acid oxidation module (Sahoo et al., Molecular bioSystems 8, 2545-2558, 2012), * a human small intestinal enterocytes reconstruction (Sahoo and Thiele, submitted). Additionally, more than 370 transport and exchange reactions were added, based on a literature review. Recon 2 is fully semantically annotated (Le Nov��re, N. et al. Nat Biotechnol 23, 1509-1515, 2005) with references to persistent and publicly available chemical and gene databases, unambiguously identifying its components and increasing its applicability for third-party users. Here you can explore the content of the reconstruction by searching/browsing metabolites and reactions. Recon 2 predictive model is available in the Systems Biology Markup Language format.
