Abstract
Relationships between genes are best represented using networks constructed from information of different types, with metabolic information being the most valuable and widely used for genetic network reconstruction. Other types of information are usually also available, and it would be desirable to systematically include them in algorithms for network reconstruction. Here, we present an algorithm to construct a global metabolic network that uses all available enzymatic and metabolic information about the organism. We construct a global enzymatic network (GEN) with a total of 4226 nodes (EC numbers) and 42723 edges representing all known metabolic reactions. As an example we use microarray data for Arabidopsis thaliana and combine it with the metabolic network constructing a final gene interaction network for this organism with 8212 nodes (genes) and 4606,901 edges. All scripts are available to be used for any organism for which genomic data is available.
Keywords: EC number, Gene network reconstruction, Global enzymatic network, KEGG, Perl.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
