Contributions are always welcome! Read more about the project's philosophy in our wiki or have a look at the Contributing guidelines before starting.

Detailed instructions on the installation and use of the Human-GEM model and repository can be found in the Human-GEM user guide.

• A functional MATLAB installation (MATLAB 7.3 and higher).
• The RAVEN toolbox.
• The COBRA toolbox (not necessary for most functionality).

• The libSBML MATLAB API (version 5.13.0 is recommended).
• Gurobi Optimizer for any simulations.

• Clone the main branch of this repository, or download the latest release.
• Add the directory to your MATLAB path either by using the lines below or manually (instructions here).

% Replace "/my/path/" with the actual path to the Human-GEM folder
cd /my/path/Human-GEM/code
% This will add the relevant paths to the path variable in MATLAB
HumanGEMInstaller.install
% It is also possible to remove Human-GEM from the MATLAB path using
HumanGEMInstaller.uninstall

The model is available as .xml, .xlsx, .txt, .yml, and .mat in the model/ directory. Note that only the .yml version is available on branches other than main (e.g., develop), to facilitate tracking of model changes.

Human-GEM.mat (Recommended if on main branch)

• Load and save using the built-in MATLAB load() and save() functions.

Human-GEM.yml (Recommended if on develop or other branches)

• Load using the importYaml.m function (in code/io/)
• Save using the exportYaml.m function (in code/io/)

Human-GEM.xml (SBML format)

• Load using the importModel.m function (from RAVEN Toolbox)
• Save using the exportModel.m function (from RAVEN Toolbox)

Additional annotation information and external identifiers for Human-GEM reactions, metabolites, and genes are provided as tsv files in the model/ directory (reactions.tsv, metabolites.tsv, and genes.tsv, respectively).

To import/export this annotation data to/from MATLAB, use the importTsvFile and exportTsvFile functions, respectively.

• Metabolic Atlas enables visualization and exploration of Human-GEM content.
• The Human-GEM user guide provides detailed instructions and examples for using the Human-GEM model and repository.

A collection of manually curated 2D metabolic maps associated with Human-GEM are stored in the Human-maps repository. These maps can be downloaded from the repository or explored interactively using Metabolic Atlas.
