To develop the models for Methanobacterium formicicum the tools merlin, CarveMe, KBase and AuReMe were used.
merlin is available for download in a single multi-platform version in https://merlin-sysbio.org/download/.

The models will be compared based on the number of reactions, genes and metabolites. Taking these results into account, the tools were evaluated for their efficiency and accuracy. Regarding the reactions/enzymes chosen, the reactions associated with methanogenesis that were marked in the KEGG Pathways were taken into account and those that seemed most relevant were chosen. For the metrics, the precision, recall, F1 score and Jaccard Distance will be calculated.
The sequences used to generate the templates are in the "Sequences" folder. The draft models are in the "Models" folder. The scripts for draft models assessment are stored in the "Scripts" folder. The results of the assessment are stored in the "Results" folder.
