Usage

This program downloads and sets up the latest version of the ModelSEED Biochemistry database.

The ModelSEED Biochemistry database consists of two tab-delimited files of reaction and compound data, respectively, and is valuable due to harmonization of IDs and properties from multiple reference databases commonly used in metabolic modeling.

anvi-reaction-network relies upon ModelSEED Biochemistry in conjunction with the KEGG Orthology database. KEGG Orthology (KO) protein annotations of genes are associated with predicted enzymatic reactions. These KEGG reactions are cross-referenced to the ModelSEED Biochemistry database to retrieve information on properties including reaction stoichiometry and reversibility. anvi-reaction-network stores reactions and metabolites thereby predicted in the contigs-db for the genome. The program, anvi-setup-kegg-data, sets up the requisite KO database.

Usage

The simplest anvi-setup-modelseed-database command sets up the database in the default anvi’o ModelSEED data directory.

anvi-setup-modelseed-database

A custom directory can be provided instead. Within the provided directory, a subdirectory named ModelSEED is created for storage of the database.

anvi-setup-modelseed-database --dir /path/to/dir

Finally, in conjunction with either of the previous commands, the --reset flag can be used to delete any existing target database directory and its contents before setting up the latest version of the ModelSEED Biochemistry database there.

anvi-setup-modelseed-database --reset

Command line interface

The following is the list of parameters and their descriptions in the latest version of anvi-setup-modelseed-database.

The code that generates this web page ensures that this information is the latest available in 9-dev (eunice). Which means, in some cases the information in this section (generated automatically) might be more comprehensive or up-to-date compared to the descriptions above (written by humans).


Command line usage

anvi-setup-modelseed-database [-h] [--dir DIR] [--reset]

Parameters and their descriptions

options
--dir DIR
Directory in which a new subdirectory, 'MODELSEED', is created to hold the database files. Without this flag, the database is set up in a default directory within the anvi'o installation (anvio/data/misc/MODELSEED).
--reset
Remove all the previously stored files and start over. If something is feels wrong for some reason and if you believe re-downloading files and setting them up could address the issue, this is the flag that will tell anvi'o to act like a real computer scientist challenged with a computational problem.
