MetDraw: automated visualization of genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions and high-throughput data

Bioinformatics. 2014 May 1;30(9):1327-8. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btt758. Epub 2014 Jan 9.

Abstract

Metabolic reaction maps allow visualization of genome-scale models and high-throughput data in a format familiar to many biologists. However, creating a map of a large metabolic model is a difficult and time-consuming process. MetDraw fully automates the map-drawing process for metabolic models containing hundreds to thousands of reactions. MetDraw can also overlay high-throughput 'omics' data directly on the generated maps.
