Expansion of the BioCyc Collection of Pathway/Genome Databases to 160 Genomes
This paper discusses the computational methodology by which the BioCyc collection has been expanded, and presents an aggregate analysis of the collection that includes the range of number of pathways…

Computational analysis of Plasmodium falciparum metabolism: Organizing genomic information to facilitate drug discovery
We have constructed PlasmoCyc, a PGDB for Plasmodium falciparum 3D7, using its annotated genomic sequence. We also add 956 additional annotations to proteins annotated as “hypothetical” using the GeneQuiz annotation system.

A Bayesian method for identifying missing enzymes in predicted metabolic pathway databases
We have developed a method that efficiently combines homology and pathway-based evidence to identify candidates for filling pathway holes in Pathway/Genome databases.

Computational Prediction of Human Metabolic Pathways from the Complete Human Genome
We present a computational pathway analysis of the human genome that assigns enzymes encoded therein to predicted metabolic pathways.

MetaCyc: a multiorganism database of metabolic pathways and enzymes
In the past 2 years the data content and the Pathway Tools software used to query, visualize and edit MetaCyc have been expanded significantly. These enhancements are described in this…

Call for an enzyme genomics initiative
I propose an Enzyme Genomics Initiative, the goal of which is to obtain at least one protein sequence for each enzyme that has previously been characterized biochemically.

Using Functional and Organizational Information to Improve Genome-Wide Computational Prediction of Transcription Units on Pathway/Genome Databases
We implemented a TU predictor that uses only intergenic distance and functional classification of genes to predict TU boundaries, and applied it to EcoCyc, our PGDB of Escherichia coli.

The E. coli EcoCyc Database: No Longer Just a Metabolic Pathway Database
No longer restricted to metabolic pathways, this curated database includes data on genomics, molecular biology, and more.

HpyCyc: Helicobacter pylori Pathway/Genome Database
A Pathway/Genome Database for Helicobacter pylori is available at URL BioCyc.org. The database integrates the full genome of H. pylori with its computationally predicted metabolic pathways.
-
PseudoCyc, a Pathway/Genome Database for Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Our PathoLogic software can generate a PGDB from an annotated genome of an organism, predicting the metabolic reactions and pathways corresponding to the enzymes present in the annotation.

Knowledge acquisition, consistency checking and concurrency control for Gene Ontology (GO)
In this paper, we assess the applicability of a Knowledge Base Management System (KBMS), Protégé-2000, to the maintenance and development of GO.
