Metabolic Interactive Nodular Network for Omics (MINNO): Refining and investigating metabolic networks based on empirical metabolomics data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT Metabolomics is a powerful tool for uncovering biochemical diversity in a wide range of organisms, and metabolic network modeling is commonly used to frame results in the context of a broader homeostatic system. However, network modeling of poorly characterized, non-model organisms remains challenging due to gene homology mismatches. To address this challenge, we developed Metabolic Interactive Nodular Network for Omics (MINNO), a web-based mapping tool that takes in empirical metabolomics data to refine metabolic networks for both model and unusual organisms. MINNO allows users to create and modify interactive metabolic pathway visualizations for thousands of organisms, in both individual and multi-species contexts. Herein, we demonstrate an important application of MINNO in elucidating the metabolic networks of understudied species, such as those of the Borrelia genus, which cause Lyme disease and relapsing fever. Using a hybrid genomics-metabolomics modeling approach, we constructed species-specific metabolic networks for three Borrelia species. Using these empirically refined networks, we were able to metabolically differentiate these genetically similar species via their nucleotide and nicotinate metabolic pathways that cannot be predicted from genomic networks. These examples illustrate the use of metabolomics for the empirical refining of genetically constructed networks and show how MINNO can be used to study non-model organisms. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT MINNO tool facilitates refining of metabolic networks, multi omics integration and investigation of cross-species interactions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
