ErrorTracer

ErrorTracer is a software tool designed to identify and classify inconsistencies in genome-scale metabolic models efficiently. It addresses modelers' challenges in quality control of increasingly complex models, particularly in identifying reactions that cannot carry flux.

Key features of ErrorTracer:

1. Speed: ErrorTracer is approximately 100 times faster than current standard methods, taking only seconds to analyze even large-scale models.

2. Inconsistency detection: The algorithm searches for inconsistencies in the model and classifies them based on their type.

3. Origin identification: ErrorTracer identifies the origins of the inconsistencies, helping modelers pinpoint the sources of errors.

4. Interactive exploration: The tool's speed allows for interactive exploration of the model, simplifying the error identification and correction workflow when combined with model visualization.
