COBRAxy: Constraint-based metabolic modelling in Galaxy

2025

Abstract

Motivation Metabolic network modeling is essential for understanding metabolic shifts occurring in complex physio-pathological processes. Currently, constraint-based modeling frameworks for metabolic networks primarily rely on Python or MATLAB libraries, requiring some coding skills. In contrast, more user-friendly tools lack essential features such as flux sampling or transcriptomic data integration Results We introduce COBRAxy, a Python-based tool suite integrated into the Galaxy Project. COBRAxy enables constraint-based modeling and sampling techniques, allowing users to compute metabolic flux distributions for multiple biological samples. The tool also enables the integration of medium composition information to refine flux predictions. Additionally, COBRAxy provides a user-friendly interface for visualizing significant flux differences between populations on an enriched metabolic map. This extension provides a comprehensive and accessible framework for advanced metabolic analysis, enabling researchers without extensive programming expertise to explore complex metabolic processes. Availability COBRAxy is available in the Galaxy ToolShed https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/bimib/cobraxy/9f78303dbd88

Systems biology

Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems. It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach (holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research. Particularly from the year 2000 onwards, the concept has been used widely in biology in a variety of contexts.

User interface

In the industrial design field of human–computer interaction, a user interface (UI) is the space where interactions between humans and machines occur. The goal of this interaction is to allow effective operation and control of the machine from the human end, while the machine simultaneously feeds back information that aids the operators' decision-making process. Examples of this broad concept of user interfaces include the interactive aspects of computer operating systems, hand tools, heavy machinery operator controls and process controls.

Graphical user interface

The graphical user interface, or GUI (ˌdʒi:juːˈaɪ or ˈɡu:i ), is a form of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and audio indicators such as primary notation, instead of text-based UIs, typed command labels or text navigation. GUIs were introduced in reaction to the perceived steep learning curve of command-line interfaces (CLIs), which require commands to be typed on a computer keyboard. The actions in a GUI are usually performed through direct manipulation of the graphical elements.
