Functional Hierarchies
|
KEGG BRITE is a collection of hierarchical classifications (see new hierarchies, change history, and last updates) representing our knowledge on various aspects of biological systems.
In contrast to KEGG PATHWAY, which is limited to molecular interactions and reactions, KEGG BRITE incorporates many different types of relationships.
The hierarchies, especially those with additional tab-delimited fields, can better be examined with a desktop application called KegHier, which works on Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms.

Brite Mapping
|
KEGG BRITE mapping is the process to map molecular datasets, especially large-scale datasets in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, to the BRITE functional hierarchies for biological interpretation of higher-level systemic functions.
