KEGG Atlas
|
KEGG Atlas is a new graphical interface to the KEGG suite of databases, especially to the systems information in the PATHWAY and BRITE databases. It currently consists of a global metabolism map with newly developed viewers and a cancer map with the traditional KEGG map viewer.

Metabolism map (version 1, to be phased out)
Metabolism map (version 2)
Cancer map

Other global maps are being developed or planned including:
|
| |
Cell map
Body map
Brain map

The new KEGG metabolism map is created as an SVG file by manually combining about 120 existing metabolic pathway maps. Each node (circle) is a chemical compound identified by the C number. Each line (curved or straight) connecting two nodes is manually defined as a segment lacking branches in the existing maps, named NetElement, and identified by the N number. Each NetElement corresponds to one to several KO's (such as this) in the reference pathway view, or one to several genes (such as this) in an organism-specific view.

KEGG Atlas Mapping
|
The new KEGG metabolism map allows the user to view and compare the entire metabolism, such as by mapping genomic, transcriptomic, metagenomic, or metabolomic data. The following interface allows mapping of genes/compounds as colored segments/nodes in the KEGG metabolism map.
