Current Projects

	BioCyc Database Collection The BioCyc Database Collection is a collection of Pathway/Genome Databases. Each database in the BioCyc collection describes the genome and metabolic pathways of a single organism, with the exception of the MetaCyc database, which is a reference source on metabolic pathways from hundreds of organisms.
	MetaCyc: Metabolic Pathway Database The MetaCyc metabolic pathway database contains pathways from over 150 different organisms. MetaCyc describes metabolic pathways, reactions, enzymes, and substrate compounds. The MetaCyc data were gathered from a variety of literature and on-line sources, and contain citations to the source of each pathway.
