  1. aThe input target list included the 7 metabolites in the successive steps of the glycolytic pathway in mammalian cells[32]: Glucose; Glucose-6-phosphate; D-fructose-6-phosphate; Fructose-1,6-biphosphate-1; D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate; Phosphoenol-pyruvate and Pyruvate. They were supposed to have an increased abundance (i.e., a positive sign) in the situation tested.
  2. bThe regulatory candidates were proposed from the confrontation of the target list to encyclopedic information within a causality graph. Gene ontology (GO) terms for biological process and function were then associated.
