The EcoCyc and MetaCyc databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
EcoCyc is an organism-specific Pathway/Genome Database that describes the metabolic and signal-transduction pathways of Escherichia coli, its enzymes, and-a new addition-its transport proteins. MetaCyc is a new metabolic-pathway database that describes pathways and enzymes of many different organisms, with a microbial focus. Both databases are queried using the Pathway Tools graphical user interface, which provides a wide variety of query operations and visualization tools. EcoCyc and MetaCyc are available at http://ecocyc.PangeaSystems.com/ecocyc/

متن کاملAn Evidence Ontology for Use in Pathway/Genome Databases
An important emerging need in Model Organism Databases (MODs) and other bioinformatics databases (DBs) is that of capturing the scientific evidence that supports the information within a DB. This need has become particularly acute as more DB content consists of computationally predicted information, such as predicted gene functions, operons, metabolic pathways, and protein properties. This pape...
متن کاملEvaluation of computational metabolic-pathway predictions for Helicobacter pylori
MOTIVATION We seek to determine the accuracy of computational methods for predicting metabolic pathways in sequenced genomes, and to understand the contributions of both the prediction algorithms, and the reference pathway databases used by those algorithms, to the prediction accuracy. RESULTS The comparisons we performed were as follows. (1) We compared two predictions of the pathway complem...

The EcoCyc (Escherichia coli Encyclopedia) database is the most highly curated; its contents have been derived from 27,000 publications. The Met...
متن کاملEcoCyc: fusing model organism databases with systems biology
EcoCyc (http://EcoCyc.org) is a model organism database built on the genome sequence of Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655. Expert manual curation of the functions of individual E. coli gene products in EcoCyc has been based on information found in the experimental literature for E. coli K-12-derived strains. Updates to EcoCyc content continue to improve the comprehensive picture of E. coli biology. ...
