TremaPath KEGG Associations - A comparative tool for trematode enzymatic pathway analysis
Species-specific TremaPath comparisons - View pathway composition of a single species, or compare 2 species
|
How to use this resource
TremaPath provides information about the presence, absence and composition of enzymatic pathways in given organisms based on actual transcript data and allows for the comparison of any two organisms represented in the database. This is useful in many ways, from identifying potential drug targets to helping understand the differences between species utilizing different survival strategies. The ability to directly compare any two species in the database provides a direct visualization of enzymatic differences between the two.
A Note on KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of
Genes and Genomes)
KEGG is a suite of databases and associated software, integrating
our current knowledge on molecular interaction networks in biological
processes (PATHWAY database), the information about the universe
of genes and proteins (GENES/SSDB/KO databases), and the information
about the universe of chemical compounds and reactions (COMPOUND/REACTION
databases). For more information see: KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes
A Note about how we make KEGG associations
KEGG Orthology (KO) numbers are assigned to trematode transcripts by primary sequence similarity. The KO numbers are then lit up in every pathway in which they are represented. We do not provide exhaustive curation, therefore proper interpretation requires the users' cognizance of the various pathways.
