  1. Recon 2.2 has increased the number of metabolites and reactions catalogued in the reconstruction relative to Recon 2, and the reactions have now been verified and corrected for mass balance. Note that boundary metabolites are excluded from this table (boundary metabolites being those outside of the system). The values for metabolites and reactions therefore correspond to the size of the stoichiometry matrix
  2. aThe 5 unbalanced reactions remaining in Recon 2.2 are those relating to the biomass objective function
  3. bThere appears to be fewer genes in Recon 2.2 than in previous reconstructions, due to the movement to representing genes by HGNC identifiers, which group alternative transcripts or splice variants into a single entity
