  "summary": "Motivation: Genome-scale metabolic models contain thousands of reactions, yet the pathway maps used to interpret them are still largely drawn by hand and cover only a small fraction of each model. Existing automatic layout methods mainly evaluate geometric appearance, such as edge crossings and spacing. However, a map can look clean while representing a reaction through the wrong metabolites,…",
