BioCyc -- A collection of pathway/genome databases
URL:
What you can do:
Search for a collection of over 205 pathway/genome databases.
Highlights:
- BioCyc is a collection of more than 500 organism-specific Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs).
- Each BioCyc PGDB contains the predicted metabolic network of one organism, including metabolic pathways, enzymes, metabolites and reactions predicted by the Pathway Tools software using MetaCyc (MetaCyc.org) as a reference database.
- BioCyc PGDBs also contain predicted operons and predicted pathway hole fillers-predictions of which enzymes may catalyze pathway reactions that have not been assigned to an enzyme.
- The BioCyc website offers many tools for computational analysis of PGDBs, including comparative analysis and analysis of omics data in a pathway context.
- The BioCyc PGDBs generated by SRI are offered for adoption by any interested party for the ongoing integration of metabolic and genome-related information about an organism.
Keywords:
