12. Briefly, the heuristic can be expressed as (i) specify or randomly choose seed metabolites, (ii) allom metabolites to react according to KEGG reactions, and (iii) incorporate newly synthesized metabolites into seed set. Steps ii and iii are then iterated until convergence, when no further new reactions are possible.
13. During manuscript review and revision, an updated KEGG database (release 37, available 4 January 2006) became available. Results from this latest release are consistent with our findings and are presented along with the SOM.
