abstract = {The interpretation of multi-omics datasets obtained from
high-throughput approaches is important to understand
disease-related physiological changes and to predict
biomarkers in body fluids. We present a new
metabolite-centred genome-scale metabolic modelling
algorithm, the Gene Expression-based Metabolite Centrality
Analysis Tool (GEMCAT). GEMCAT enables integration of
transcriptomics or proteomics data to predict changes in
metabolite concentrations, which can be verified by targeted
metabolomics. In addition, GEMCAT allows to trace measured
and predicted metabolic changes back to the underlying
alterations in gene expression or proteomics and thus
enables functional interpretation and integration of
multi-omics data. We demonstrate the predictive capacity of
GEMCAT on three datasets and genome-scale metabolic networks
from two different organisms: (i) we integrated
transcriptomics and metabolomics data from an engineered
human cell line with a functional deletion of the
mitochondrial NAD transporter; (ii) we used a large
multi-tissue multi-omics dataset from rats for
transcriptome- and proteome-based prediction and
verification of training-induced metabolic changes and
achieved an average prediction accuracy of $70\%;$ and (iii)
we used proteomics measurements from patients with
inflammatory bowel disease and verified the predicted
changes using metabolomics data from the same patients. For
this dataset, the prediction accuracy achieved by GEMCAT was
$79\%.$},
