Figure 4From: A curated C. difficile strain 630 metabolic network: prediction of essential targets and inhibitors Flow chart representing the main steps of reconstruction of a metabolic network. The creation of the network begins by the building of a draft by extracting data from various databases. The draft will then enter an iterative cycle between curation and validation, each steps of validation bringing a new step of curation if it fails. The final version of the network can then be used to perform various analyses (growth tests, in silico gene deletion, etc.).Back to article page
