HMDB identifiers problem

[adugourd]

Description of the issue

Hello BIGG team,

thanks a lot for the amazing resource !

the bigg_models_metabolites.txt file you put at our disposal is particularly useful !

However there is a slight issue with it: the HMDB identifiers that are provided are not always the main ones.

For example, chsterol HMDB id is HMDB62453 in this file, but on the HMDB website, this id is only reported as a secondary id, the main one being HMDB0000067.

It may be an issue in some case as there is a higher chance that experimentalist would identify metabolites using the main HMDB identifier, which would prevent them from mapping it easilly on BIGG models.

Thanks again !
