Deductive Calculation Library for KEGG Pathway Simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
KEGG, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, project consists of three types of data, pathways, hierarchies, and binary relations, that are used to represent biological knowledge. We present here a C++ library for e cient calculation of possible pathways from binary relations. In practice, the library is used to calculate metabolic pathways from the substrate-product relations of enzymes stored in the LIGAND chemical database for enzyme reactions. The library consists of three modules, the calculation module that is a core part of the library written as an extension of the relational operations, the reaction agent module that converts real chemical reactions to generalized binary relations, and the interface module that accepts deductive operations.

Dynamic exploration and editing of KEGG pathway diagrams
MOTIVATION The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Pathway database is a very valuable information resource for researchers in the fields of life sciences. It contains metabolic and regulatory processes in the form of wiring diagrams, which can be used for browsing and information retrieval as well as a base for modeling and simulation. Thus it helps in understanding biological proce...

MOTIVATION Functional characterization of genes is of great importance for the understanding of complex cellular processes. Valuable information for this purpose can be obtained from pathway databases, like KEGG. However, only a small fraction of genes is annotated with pathway information up to now. In contrast, information on contained protein domains can be obtained for a significantly highe...
متن کاملOntology-Based Representation for Cell System Markup Language
Networks of molecular interaction in biological processes reveal different levels of granularities, as well as different levels of abstraction. It is difficult to provide formal and explicit representations of diverse biological entities and their relationships. As an ontological approach, we present CSO (Ontology based representation of Cell System markup language), a pathway representation la...

SUMMARY The KEGG PATHWAY database provides a widely used service for metabolic and nonmetabolic pathways. It contains manually drawn pathway maps with information about the genes, reactions and relations contained therein. To store these pathways, KEGG uses KGML, a proprietary XML-format. Parsers and translators are needed to process the pathway maps for usage in other applications and algorith...
