| Biological molecules such as proteins and metabolites interact to accomplish a biological function and to respond to environmental stimuli. Pathways capture this information derived through scientific experimentation and data analysis. They contain information about genes that appear in complexes, the interacting genes, the directionality of the interactions (e.g. inhibitors versus activators), the cellular locations where the reactions occur, and the metabolites that are affected by the processes. Using our open-source pathway analysis platform, PathVisio, we will connect pathway analysis to different quantitative approaches already in development for metabolic network modeling, such as flux balance analysis and dynamic simulation. In order to use... |
