Pathway Projector

Pathway Projector visualizes and maps genes, enzymes, and metabolites onto KEGG Atlas‑derived biochemical pathway maps to integrate transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data for pathway-level analysis.


Key Features:

  • Integrated Pathway Maps: Uses KEGG Atlas-derived maps that integrate genes, enzymes, and metabolites and provides scalable, zoomable representations via the Google Maps API.
  • Comprehensive Search Capabilities: Supports searches by keywords, molecular weights, nucleotide sequences, amino acid sequences, and potential routes between compounds.
  • Data Mapping and Annotation: Maps transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic experimental data onto pathway maps and allows editing and annotation of maps for analysis.
  • Data Exchange: Facilitates exchange of pathway data and integration of new findings into existing pathway maps.

Scientific Applications:

  • Data Contextualization: Contextualizes experimental data within biochemical pathways.
  • Systems Biology: Supports systems biology research by integrating multiple biological data types with pathway information.
  • Functional Genomics: Enables functional genomics studies by mapping genes and enzymes onto pathway maps.
  • Personalized Medicine: Supports personalized medicine research by relating omics data to pathway context.
  • Gene–Environment Interactions and Pathway Dynamics: Enables exploration of gene–environment interactions and pathway dynamics to study cellular processes and disease mechanisms.

Methodology:

Integrates large-scale pathway maps from the KEGG Atlas with data-mapping capabilities and uses the Google Maps API for visualization.
