This document discusses genome annotation and modeling from genomes to pathways and simulations. It begins by outlining the genome annotation process from identifying open reading frames (ORFs) to functional annotation. It then discusses qualitative and quantitative modeling in systems biology, noting that qualitative modeling can be highly automated but quantitative modeling is more difficult. The document introduces the GEM System for building genome-scale metabolic models and shows example coverage for several species. It also compares qualitative modeling results before and after improving the GEM System and annotation. Finally, it discusses current challenges with quantitative modeling databases and introduces the ISM database as an alternative that aims to address limitations of other options through curation and additional features.
