r3d100011294 MetaCyc Metabolic Pathway Database a member of the BioCyc database collection https://metacyc.org/ FAIRsharing_doi:10.25504/FAIRsharing.yytevr OMICS_02718 RRID:SCR_007778 RRID:nif-0000-03114 MetaCyc is a curated database of experimentally elucidated metabolic pathways from all domains of life. MetaCyc contains pathways involved in both primary and secondary metabolism, as well as associated metabolites, reactions, enzymes, and genes. The goal of MetaCyc is to catalog the universe of metabolism by storing a representative sample of each experimentally elucidated pathway. MetaCyc applications include: Online encyclopedia of metabolism, Prediction of metabolic pathways in sequenced genomes, Support metabolic engineering via enzyme database, Metabolite database aids. metabolomics research. biocyc-support@ai.sri.com https://metacyc.org/contact.shtml disciplinary 2.722 pathways; 3009 different organisms eng 2 Life Sciences 201 Basic Biological and Medical Research 20101 Biochemistry 20105 General Genetics 20107 Bioinformatics and Theoretical Biology 204 Microbiology, Virology and Immunology 20401 Metabolism, Biochemistry and Genetics of Microorganisms 21 Biology 22 Medicine Plain text Scientific and statistical data formats Software applications Structured text dataProvider genomics life sciences metabolic engineering molecular biology systems biology National Institutes of Health, National Institute of General Medical Sciences NIH NIGMS USA funding non-profit https://www.nigms.nih.gov/ ROR:04q48ey07 SRI International USA general non-profit https://www.sri.com/ ROR:05s570m15 https://www.sri.com/contact/ BioCycUserGuide https://biocyc.org/BioCycUserGuide.shtml Curator Guide for Pathway / Genome Databases https://bioinformatics.ai.sri.com/ptools/curatorsguide.pdf open other https://metacyc.org/download.shtml open other https://metacyc.org/all-reg.shtml closed other https://metacyc.org/web-services.shtml none https://metacyc.org/ yes yes https://feeds.feedburner.com/BioCycUpdates?format=xml MetaCyc is covered by Thomson Reuters Data Citation Index.
