Genome-scale metabolic modeling is commonly used to study the effect of metabolism on organism phenotype. This article introduces a newly developed transcriptome analysis tool called IgemRNA, which has a user-friendly graphical interface, tackles software compatibility issues, and introduces novel algorithms for comparing different transcriptome datasets. Validation using publicly available transcriptome datasets showed that IgemRNA can validate transcriptome and environmental data on biochemical network topology.
Genome-scale metabolic modeling is widely used to study the impact of metabolism on the phenotype of different organisms. While substrate modeling reflects the potential distribution of carbon and other chemical elements within the model, the additional use of omics data, e.g., transcriptome, has implications when researching the genotype-phenotype responses to environmental changes. Several algorithms for transcriptome analysis using genome-scale metabolic modeling have been proposed. Still, they are restricted to specific objectives and conditions and lack flexibility, have software compatibility issues, and require advanced user skills. We classified previously published algorithms, summarized transcriptome pre-processing, integration, and analysis methods, and implemented them in the newly developed transcriptome analysis tool IgemRNA, which (1) has a user-friendly graphical interface, (2) tackles compatibility issues by combining previous data input and pre-processing algorithms in MATLAB, and (3) introduces novel algorithms for the automatic comparison of different transcriptome datasets with or without Cobra Toolbox 3.0 optimization algorithms. We used publicly available transcriptome datasets from Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 and H4-S47D strains for validation. We found that IgemRNA provides a means for transcriptome and environmental data validation on biochemical network topology since the biomass function varies for different phenotypes. Our tool can detect problematic reaction constraints.
