Reconciliation strategy for various groups of reactions.

During reconciliation, reactions were categorized into groups based on the types of information that would likely be useful in reconciling them between the two reconstructions. The major categories are listed, as well as the number of reactions (# Rxns) reconciled in each category and the general reconciliation strategy used. When interpreting the ‘# Rxns’ field, note that some reactions that do not ‘fit’ in a given category were nevertheless reconciled in that category, since the reconciliation of many reactions involved cross-referencing and reconciling other reactions with similar gene associations. The ‘Pathway’ categories were created for sets of reactions that did not easily conform to the general methods used for reconciliation, but had unique or specific methods that were found to be more appropriate.
