Opportunities for training and establishing curricula to prepare scientists to apply genome-scale metabolic modeling in microbiome studies. Each topic rectangle lists resources we feel are beneficial for scientists exploring genome-scale metabolic modeling of microbiomes. All resources are listed with accession information in Table S1. The top half includes prerequisite topics based on researcher background; those with more computational experience (left side) or more biological experience (right side) will have different knowledge gaps. The bottom half includes resources that should be helpful regardless of background. Content in “still needed” lines was identified by our authors as having strong deficiencies in available learning material.
