description: Description: 

This repository contains all source codes, necessary input and output data, and raw figures and tables for reproducing all figures and results published in the following study: 

Xuhang Li#, Hefei Zhang#, Thomas Hodder, Wen Wang, L. Safak Yilmaz, Chad L. Myers, Albertha J.M. Walhout. Systems-level Worm Perturb-Seq reveals design principles of metabolic rewiring. (2025) Nature, in press (# equal contribution)

Files:

This repository contains the entire project working directory for this publication. To deposit into Zenodo, we have individually zipped each subfolder of the root directory. To reproduce our study, it is advised that one should download the entire Zenodo repository and unzip every zip file to produce the corresponding subfolders. The "root.zip" should be directly unzipped into the root directory of this project (not your system root!!). 

The recovered working directory should be like this:

Please be advised that this repository contains raw codes and data that are not directly related to a figure in our paper. However, they may be useful to generate input used in the analysis of a figure, or to reproduce tables in our manuscript. It may also contain unpublished analyses and figures, which we did not intentionally delete and kept for records. 

Usage: 

Please refer to the table in below to locate a specific file for reproducing a figure of interest (also availabe in the REWIRING_FIGURE_LOOKUP.xlsx under the root directory).

Reproducing this figure is complex because it integrates multiple randomization results; search "fitted_CR_interaction_diagram.pdf" or "fitted_CR_interaction_diagram_randGRN.pdf" to locate the code for making the figure (two randomizations, respectively), and track up for a few lines to load the dependency. To fully reproduce the analysis, follow the instructions in the Github and you will need to execute all four files named "3_DEG_modeling_edge_*.R".

a: The lines indicate the chunk of codes to reproduce the corresponding figure; The figure is reproduced at the end of the referred codes. Please note that you may have to run the codes above the referred chunk (i.e., from the first line) to load dependent variables to execute the referred codes. However, you should be able to reproduce the figure only with the codes within the referred script. 

Notice:

We advise you download the entire project working directory (including all zip files and unzip them into corresponding folders), for reproducing any analysis. If you only download the zip file relevant to your figure of interest, you may or may not run into issues due to the missing files in another folder.  

Contact:

For any questions, please contact Xuhang (Hang) Li at Xuhang.Li@umassmed.edu. (we plan to deposit an updated version with better code annotations, but cannot complete that currently due to time restirctions)
