Compartmentalization of the Edinburgh Human Metabolic Network.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Scientific workflows management systems are increasingly used to specify and manage bioinformatics experiments. Their programming model appeals to bioinformaticians, who can use them to easily specify complex data processing pipelines. Such a model is underpinned by a graph structure, where nodes represent b...
