The data was queried with the shortest path algorithm to connect metabolites of interest to one another and retrieve accompanying information (literature, ontologies, pathways). The analyses in this paper were performed with the Neo4j Community Edition (version 3.5.7, Java 8). The data was visualized in Cytoscape (version 3.9.1, Java 11) by extending an existing plugin, CyNeo4j (version 2.2.0) . The Neo4j database containing the DSMN is available at DOI:10.5281/zenodo.7113243.
