[Biomodels-net-discuss] unclear gene names in path2models

[gubai1985 <gub...@gm...>]

Hi,

When I download a genome scale metabolic model of Bacillus megaterium DSM319 (BMID000000141574), and read it using the cobra toolbox, I found the gene names in the model belong to two groups: one is like "bmd:BMD_0534", the known local gene name format of this organism, while the other is like "GCW2-4418" with a prefix of GCW2- and followed four numbers. I do not known what are the exact meanings of the second kind of gene names. Also, model of another B. megaterium in path2models (BMID000000140553) have the similar gene name problems, with two kinds of gene names:"bmq:BMQ_0656" and "GD2R-174141". Anyone who knowns what these names represent and how these names come out?

With wishes!
