However, the complexity of these networks hinders a consistent and concise physiological representation. We present here redHUMAN, a workflow for reconstructing reduced models that focus on parts of the metabolism relevant to a specific physiology using the recently established methods redGEM and lumpGEM. The reductions include the thermodynamic properties of compounds and reactions guaranteeing the con- sistency of predictions with the bioenergetics of the cell. We introduce a method (redGEMX) to incorporate the pathways used by cells to adapt to the medium. We provide the ther- modynamic curation of the human GEMs Recon2 and Recon3D and we apply the redHUMAN workflow to derive leukemia-specific reduced models.

SUMMARY Adam Bernard Using Natural Language Processing methods to support curation of a chemical on- tology. This thesis describes various techniques to assist the curation of a chemi- cal ontology (ChEBI) using a combination of textmining techniques and the resources of the ontology itself. ChEBI is an ontology of small molecules that are either produced by, or otherwise relevant to, biological organisms. It is manually expert-curated, and as such has high reliablity but incomplete coverage. To make efficient use of curator time, it is desirable to have auto- matic suggestions for chemical species and their properties, to be assessed for inclusion in ChEBI. Having developed a system to identify chemicals within biological text, I use a combination of a syntactic parser and a small set of textual patterns to extract hypernyms of these chemicals (categories of chemicals where there is an is-a relationship e.g.

  • Carbon Dioxide - Wikipedia
    5/20/2020 Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide (chemical formula CO2) is a colorless gas with Carbon dioxide a density about 60% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas. The current concentration is about 0.04% (412 ppm) by volume, having risen from pre-industrial levels of 280 ppm.[8] Natural sources include volcanoes, hot springs and geysers, and it is freed from carbonate rocks by dissolution in water and acids. Because carbon dioxide is soluble in water, it occurs naturally in groundwater, rivers and lakes, ice caps, glaciers and seawater. It is present in deposits of petroleum and natural gas. Carbon dioxide is odorless at normally encountered concentrations, but at high concentrations, it has a sharp and acidic odor.[1] At such Names concentrations it generates the taste of soda water in the Other names [9] mouth. Carbonic acid gas As the source of available carbon in the carbon cycle, atmospheric Carbonic anhydride carbon dioxide is the primary carbon source for life on Earth and Carbonic oxide its concentration in Earth's pre-industrial atmosphere since late Carbon oxide in the Precambrian has been regulated by photosynthetic organisms and geological phenomena.

  • Evaluation and Cross-Comparison of Lexical Entities of Biological Interest (Lexebi)
    Evaluation and Cross-Comparison of Lexical Entities of Biological Interest (LexEBI) Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann1,2*, Jee-Hyub Kim2, Ying Yan2, Abhishek Dixit2, Caroline Friteyre2, Robert Hoehndorf3, Rolf Backofen4, Ian Lewin2 1 Department of Computational Linguistics, University of Zu¨rich, Zu¨rich, Switzerland, 2 European Molecular Biology Laboratory, European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL- EBI), Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 3 Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 4 Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Fahnenbergplatz, Freiburg, Germany Abstract Motivation: Biomedical entities, their identifiers and names, are essential in the representation of biomedical facts and knowledge. In the same way, the complete set of biomedical and chemical terms, i.e. the biomedical ‘‘term space’’ (the ‘‘Lexeome’’), forms a key resource to achieve the full integration of the scientific literature with biomedical data resources: any identified named entity can immediately be normalized to the correct database entry. This goal does not only require that we are aware of all existing terms, but would also profit from knowing all their senses and their semantic interpretation (ambiguities, nestedness). Result: This study compiles a resource for lexical terms of biomedical interest in a standard format (called ‘‘LexEBI’’), determines the overall number of terms, their reuse in different resources and the nestedness of terms. LexEBI comprises references for protein and gene entries and their term variants and chemical entities amongst other terms. In addition, disease terms have been identified from Medline and PubmedCentral and added to LexEBI. Our analysis demonstrates that the baseforms of terms from the different semantic types show only little polysemous use.

  • Chemistry Requirements
    OBO: chemistry requirements Colin Batchelor July 2, 2008 Abstract We list some urgent corrections which are needed to make ChEBI compatible with BFO, RO and the other OBO Foundry ontologies, as well as outlining developments which will minimize future curatorial effort. The urgent corrections are to ensure: is a completeness, that the is a relation is transitive, that the parthood relations are compatible with RO, that granular and determinate parthood are distinguished, that the names of important terms reflect biomedical usage rather than IUPAC's prescriptions, and that the top-level terms are rearranged to reflect the new parthood relations. The future developments outlined are to replace most of the asserted structure of ChEBI with an inferred structure, and to introduce a cross-product structure compatible with postcomposition of terms. 1 Introduction Not only are organisms made of chemical entities, but fundamental processes in biological organisms such as the Krebs cycle, DNA transcription, RNA transla- tion and post-translational modification are defined in terms of transformations of chemical entities. It is for this reason that the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) need a biochemical ontology. In order to interoperate effectively with other OBO ontologies, any ontology should • be is a complete • have an is a relation that is transitive • reuse relations from RO where appropriate • distinguish between granular and determinate parthood (Rogers et al.) • distinguish between dependent and independent continuants (BFO) A biochemical ontology that is part of OBO we needs to provide a chemical framework for biomedical ontologies such as the molecular function and biolog- ical process ontologies in GO, the types of molecule that are implied by the 1 Sequence Ontology, and the chemical classes in the Systems Biology Ontology.

While many roles correspond to how their substituent chemicals aect proteins and other biological entities (see Figure 3), this information is not formalized nor structured in the ChEBI ontology. Ying et al. [3] previously described how these correspondences could be theoretically formalized. This article proposes a concrete schema and axioms through which these roles can be linked to their target entities (Figure 1, right), a suite of open source, reusable curation tools, and ultimately a manually curated database of relationships between chemical roles and their targets. Figure 1: Schema for inference of chemicals’ relations to targets via roles. Targets may be other chemicals, proteins, protein families, protein complexes, pathways, pathologies, or organisms. Throughout this article, the term role (in the context of the ChEBI ontology) will be used in the colloquial sense described by Batchelor et al.
