The g2f package was designed as a tool to find and fill gaps in metabolic networks. For a given metabolic network, this package finds the gaps (metabolites not produced or not consumed in any other reaction), and fills it from the stoichiometric reactions of a reference metabolic reconstruction using a weighting function. Also the option to download all the set of gene-associated stoichiometric reactions for a specific organism from the KEGG database http://www.genome.jp/kegg/ is available.
This package required R version 2.10 or higher. If you are using an older version of R you will be prompted to upgrade when you try to install the package.
For install the latest stable version this package directly from GitHub:
# Install 'devtools' R package
install.packages("devtools")
# Install 'g2f' package
devtools::install_github("gibbslab/g2f")
library("g2f")
