Pathway Databases

A very interesting article by Gary Bader, entitled Open Access and Open Source Speed Computational Network Biology Research, was posted on 9 April 2007 at the University of Toronto’s Project Open Source|Open Access website. Excerpts:

A major challenge for studying the cellular network is collecting all known public information from very diverse sources, such as the biomedical literature, raw experimental data and the hundreds of existing pathway databases. Open access content and open source software systems are critical for overcoming this challenge. Once information is freely shared in open, standard formats, it can be aggregated, integrated, searched, visualized and analyzed.

Pathway Commons will be a convenient point of access to biological pathway information collected from public pathway databases, which you can browse or search. Pathways include biochemical reactions, complex assembly, transport and catalysis events, and physical interactions involving proteins, DNA, RNA, small molecules and complexes.
