SBML report

sbmlutils can create HTML reports from given SBML files. Such an HTML report provides a simple entry point to get an overview over an existing SBML model or browse content of a model in a more human-readable format.

Create report

The following example demonstrates how an SBML report can be created from given models.


In [1]:
from sbmlutils.report import sbmlreport

Repressilator

The first report is for the repressilator downloaded from biomodels (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biomodels/BIOMD0000000012). To create a report on provides the path to the SBML file and the directory where the report should be written. As part of the model report creation the model is validated by default. In this example we deactivate the units_consistency checks.

The created SBML report can be accessed from ./reports/BIOMD0000000012.html.


In [2]:
# create SBML report without performing units checks
sbmlreport.create_report("./models/BIOMD0000000012.xml", report_dir="./reports", 
                              units_consistency=False)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/home/mkoenig/git/sbmlutils/docs_builder/notebooks/models/BIOMD0000000012.xml
valid                    : TRUE
check time (s)           : 0.008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SBML report created: ./reports/BIOMD0000000012.html

Platelet metabolism

In the second example we create a report for a model for Human platelet metabolism from the BiGG model database: http://bigg.ucsd.edu/models/iAT_PLT_636

The created SBML report can be accessed from ./reports/iAT_PLT_636.xml.html.


In [3]:
# create SBML report without performing units checks
sbmlreport.create_report("./models/iAT_PLT_636.xml.gz", report_dir="./reports", 
                              units_consistency=False, modeling_practice=False)
