title: Assimilating genome-scale metabolic reconstructions with modelBorgifier.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Genome-scale reconstructions and models, as collections of genomic and metabolic information, provide a useful means to compare organisms. Comparison requires that models are similarly notated to pair shared components.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Matching and comparison of genome-scale reconstructions and models are facilitated by modelBorgifier. It reconciles models in light of different annotation schemes, allowing diverse models to become useful for synchronous investigation.
  
  
  METHODS
  The modelBorgifier toolbox is freely available at http://www.brain-biotech.de/downloads/modelBorgifier.zip.
