CarveFungi is a genome-scale metabolic model reconstruction pipeline able to create a compartmentalized metabolic model of any fungal specie from its protein sequences. It is implemented using python.
Requirements:
- Tensorflow
- keras
- biopython
- pandas
- numpy
- cobrapy
- EggNog annotation software: https://github.com/eggnogdb/eggnog-mapper
- Download the deep learning models from "https://zenodo.org/records/10725786" and copy them into the folder "/bin/compartmentPredictions/deepModels".
CarveFungi uses a deep learning model to predict the cellular localization of the proteins and this information is used to score the reactions.
CarveMe (https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gky537,https://github.com/cdanielmachado/carveme) uses the scoring of the reactions to obtain a functional metabolic model that is able to produce biomass.
