MetaTool
========


The MetaTool parser works with MetaTool output files.  MetaTool implements
algorithms to decompose a biochemical pathway into a combination of simpler networks,
that are more accessible to analysis.

The software is available at:
http://www2.bioinf.mdc-berlin.de/metabolic/metatool/

The MetaTool web page is 
  http://www.biologie.hu-berlin.de/biophysics/Theory/tpfeiffer/metatool.html

The MetaTool parser requires Numeric.py. Information is available at
http://www.python.org/topics/scicomp/

The Bio.MetaTool.Scanner produces the following events:

input_file_name
num_int_metabolites
num_reactions
metabolite_line
unbalanced_metabolite
num_rows
num_cols
irreversible_vector
branch_metabolite
non_branch_metabolite

kernel_tag
subsets_tag
reduced_system_tag
convex_basis_tag
conservation_relations_tag
