Week 6

-
Greetings!

This blog details work done from 1st to 5th July, and issues to be addressed in next meeting.

Progress this Week
The issues in focus were:

  • ModelPolisher updated to openjdk-11.
  • Containerisation: I tried to build a container for ModelPolisher which contains ModelPolisher jar, openjdk-11, postgreSQL, BiGG db(restored in potgreSQL). I was earlier trying to build docker image using docker-file, but I came across docker-commit, in which I made all the required changes in a ubuntu base image and committed the image to form a new one. This completely worked, this was a quick way but not good for shipping images. It will also cause the image's size to be very large and making a change in image would be much problematic in future. After trying these possibilities, I plan to write a docker-file to containerise docker by this weekend. Also. note that the image will be interactive and user will be able to give inputs and get outputs by mounting volume to the container.
Issues to Address in upcoming meeting:
  • Removal of 'objective' from SBML if 'listOfObjective' not present: I was not able to find 'objective' in xml mentioned in issue. Need to discuss the issue with an example with the mentors. 
  • Test cases to check the mapping regarding issue #39, #41: Issue faced was that I was not able to figure out how to get instance of BiGG database in the test class.
  • AnnotatedDB: Discuss with mentors about where to exactly include mappings from AnnotatedDB.
    Also, integration of AnnotatedDB will be the most important issue I will try to solve in the upcoming week.

    Thank You!

Final Report: GSoC 2019

-
This is the final report for project  Extending ModelPolisher to a universal model annotation tool  under Google Summer of Code 2019, organization: NRNB . ModelPolisher is a model annotation tool originally developed for the BiGG Models Knowledgebase. Annotations enhance the reusability and interoperability of biological models. During this project, I extended the model annotation capabilities of ModelPolisher, updated the MatlabParser (reading models in the COBRA matlab format), containerized ModelPolisher using Docker, added functionality to use AnnotateDB for model annotation, and added a feature to produce a model annotation glossary and CombineArchives as outputs. As part of this work, the SQLite version of the ModelPolisher database backend could be removed. Link to G ithub Project:  https://github.com/draeger-lab/ModelPolisher The project proceeded according to the goals and timeline of the project  proposal ,  except for one major change: I comp...

Week 12

Greetings! After completing the code for the production of the glossary file, my next task for this project was to give the user an option to produce the output in form of a Combine Archive which contains the polished model and the glossary file. This feature may look redundant now, but it is very helpful to keep biological models in differents formats in one Combine Archive which also contains a single glossary file which has all the annotations from the polished model. So, for this task, I first added an option `--output-combine` for users in which they can provide a boolean to produce output as a single Combine Archive. After addition of this option, if the user provides value `true` for this option, I use binfalse/CombineArchive  repository to put in the output polished model and the glossary file in a Combine Archive zip. Note that, in this case, any annotated model or glossary rdf file will not be produced. There were multiple issues during the implementation of thi...

Week 9, 10

Greetings! The following blog contains my progress in Week 9, 10. In the last days of the previous week, I had already integrated AnnotateDB in ModelPolisher but it was not yet properly checked. So, this week my major goal was to completely check the integration of AnnotateDB and solve bugs (if any). Also, I had to update the README file to provide proper instructions for users to add annotations from AnnotateDB. Testing AnnotateDB Integration:   I had already tested the to query to get the annotations from ADB using BiGG Id of species and reactions, so here only ModelPolisher was tested for successful extraction of annotations from ADB. Issue Observed : After I had added support for ADB in ModelPolisher, I tried to polish some random models (after temporarily removing code to extract annotations from BiGG DB). I observed that ModelPolisher is not making queries to ADB while the extracting annotations from ADB in class `AnnotateDB`, but rather the queries are being made to Bi...
