GIZMO

Graph-Integrated Zone of Metabolite Operations — the metabolite knowledge graph that powers GrAndMA's network analysis.

GIZMO is the backend library GrAndMA uses for network construction, pathway annotation, and cross-database identifier mapping. Most GrAndMA users never interact with it directly — it runs underneath the Network Analysis and annotation features. This page is for developers, integrators, or curious users who want to understand how those features work.

What it does

  • Builds a unified metabolite reaction graph integrating MetaNetX, ChEBI, PubChem, HMDB, and Reactome
  • Maps metabolite identifiers across databases
  • Annotates metabolites with chemical structure (SMILES, InChI, formula, mass)
  • Links metabolites to reactions, pathways, genes, and disease associations (Open Targets, MONDO, Orphanet)
  • Powers network analysis and enrichment in GrAndMA
