The Metacyc Database of Metabolic Pathways and Enzymes and the Biocyc Collection of Pathway/Genome Databases
MetaCyc (MetaCyc.org) is a universal database of metabolic pathways and enzymes from all domains of life. The pathways in MetaCyc are curated from the primary scientific literature, and are experimentally…

Metabolic Reconstruction Databases and Their Application to Metabolomics Research
This chapter describes the MetaCyc family of Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs).

Dead End Metabolites – Defining the Known Unknowns of the E. coli Metabolic Network
We have analysed the occurrence of dead end metabolites within the database – these are metabolites which lack the requisite reactions (either metabolic or transport) that would account for their…

The COMBREX Project: Design, Methodology, and Initial Results
COMBREX is an NIH-funded enterprise that has brought computational and experimental biologists together, with the goal of greatly improving our overall understanding of microbial protein function.

Groups: Knowledge Spreadsheets for Symbolic Biocomputing
‘Groups’ is an implementation of Knowledge Spreadsheets (KSs) within the Pathway Tools system.
-
The Challenge of Constructing, Classifying, and Representing Metabolic Pathways
This review describes the criteria that need to be considered, and the rules that have been developed by MetaCyc curators as they make decisions regarding the representation and classification of…

A systematic comparison of the MetaCyc and KEGG pathway databases
We present a comparison of the compound, reaction, and pathway content of MetaCyc version 16.0 and a KEGG version downloaded on Feb-27-2012 to increase understanding of their relative sizes, their…

Groups: Knowledge Spreadsheets for symbolic biocomputing
Groups allows Pathway Tools users to define a group of objects (e.g. groups of genes or metabolites) from a Pathway/Genome Database.

Data Mining in the Metacyc Family of Pathway Databases
The MetaCyc family of pathway databases consists of thousands of databases that were derived through computational inference of metabolic pathways from the MetaCyc pathway/genome database (PGDB).
