The COSMOS PKN is a combination of the following datasets:
Building the PKN is possible in by calling the
cosmos_pkn()
function that we present in the last section.
First let’s take a closer look at each resource.
The Chalmers Sysbio group provides genome scale models of metabolism (GEMs) for various organisms: human, mouse, rat, fish, fly and worm. These models are available as Matlab files, which contain reaction data, stoichiometry matrix and identifier translation data.
The raw contents of the Matlab file can be loaded by
chalmers_gem_raw()
. This results in a convoluted structure
of nested lists and arrays:
Another function, chalmers_gem()
processes the above
structure into a data frame of reactions, also keeping the stoichiometry
matrix and including the identifier translation data:
## [1] "organism" "reactions" "metabolites" "reaction_ids" "metabolite_ids" "S"
The identifier translation tables are available by separate
functions, chalmers_gem_metabolites()
and
chalmers_gem_reactions()
for metabolite and reaction (and
enzyme) identifiers, respectively. These return simple data frames.

The metabolite identifier translation available here is also
integrated into the package’s translation service, available by the
translate_ids
and other functions.
Finally, the chalmers_gem_network()
function uses all
above data to compile a network binary chemical-protein interactions. By
default Metabolic Atlas identifiers are used for the metabolites and
Ensembl Gene IDs for the enzymes. These can be tranlated to the desired
identifiers using the metabolite_ids
and
protein_ids
arguments. Translation to multiple identifers
is possible. The ri
or record_id
column in
case of the Chalmers GEM represent the reaction ID, a unique identifier
of the original reaction. One reaction yields many binary interactions
as it consists of a number of gene products, reactants and products. The
column ci
means “complex ID”, it is a unique identifier of
groups of enzymes required together to carry out the reaction. The
column reverse
indicates if the row is derived from the
reversed version of a reversible reaction. The column
transporter
signals reactions where the same metabolite
occures both on reactant and product side, these are assumed to be
transport reactions. In the Chalmers GEM the reactions are also assigned
to compartments, these are encoded by single letter codes in the
comp
column. In the original data the compartment codes are
postfixes of the metabolite IDs, here we move them into a separate
column, leaving the Metabolic Atlas IDs clean and usable.
STITCH is a large compendium of binary interactions between proteins
and chemicals. Some of these are derived from metabolic reactions.
Various attributes such as mode of action, effect sign and scores are
assigned to each link. The datasets are available by organism, stored in
“actions” and “links” tables, available by the
stitch_actions()
and stitch_links()
functions,
respectively. STITCH supports a broad variety of organisms, please refer
to their website at (https://stitch.embl.de/).
stitch_network()
combines the actions and links data
frames, filters by confidence scores, removes the prefixes from
identifiers and translates them to the desired ID types. STITCH prefixes
Ensembl Protein IDs with the NCBI Taxonomy ID, while PubChem CIDs with
CID plus a lowercase letter “s” or “m”, meaning stereo specific or
merged stereoisomers, respectively. These prefixes are removed by
default by the stitch_remove_prefixes()
function. Effect
signs (1 = activation, -1 = inhibition) and combined scores are aslo
included in the data frame. Similarly to Chalmers GEM, translation of
chemical and protein identifiers is available. The
record_id
column uniquely identifies the original records.
Multiple rows with the same record_id
are due to
one-to-many identifier translation.
All parameters supported by the OmniPath web service
(omnipath()
) can be passed to
omnipath_for_cosmos()
, enabling precise control over the
resources, interaction types and other options when preparing the
signaling network from OmniPath. By default the “omnipath” dataset is
included which contains high confidence, literature curated, causal
protein-protein interactions. For human, mouse and rat, orthology
translated data is retrieved from the web service, while for other
organisms translation by orthologous gene pairs is carried out client
side.

Building the complete COSMOS PKN is done by
cosmos_pkn()
. All the resources above can be customized by
arguments passed to this function. With all downloads and processing the
build might take 30-40 minutes. Data is cached at various levels of
processing, shortening processing times. With all data downloaded and
HMDB ID translation data preprocessed, the build takes 3-4 minutes; the
complete PKN is also saved in the cache, if this is available, loading
it takes only a few seconds.
The record_id
column identifies the original records
within each resource. If one record_id
yields multiple
records in the final data frame, it is the result of one-to-many ID
translation or other processing steps. Before use, it is recommended to
select one pair of ID type columns (by combining the preferred ones) and
perform distinct
by the identifier columns and sign. After
the common columns, resource specific columns are labeled with the
resource name; after these columns, molecule type and side specific
identifer columns are named after the ID type and the side of the
interaction (“source” vs. “target”).
