paper_2018_curr_opin_biotechnol

This repository provides the code used to generate the figures and tables in the Karr Lab's 2018 whole-cell modeling review in Current Opinion in Biotechnology.

The code performs the following functions:

• Downloads the BioModels database (Release 30)
• Parses all of downloaded SBML files for both the curated and non-curated models
• Uses heuristics to try to determine the mathematical type (flux balance analysis, logical, stochastic) of each model
• Extracts all of the model-level annotations (e.g. taxon, pathway, reference) of each model
• Inserts all of the model metadata (id, name, mathematical type, annotations) into a sqlite database
• Exports all of the model mdetadata to an Excel file
• Analyze the metadata and generate the figures and tables for the review paper
