BrachyCyc: A metabolic pathway network of Brachypodium genes
We are pleased to announce the release of the BrachyCyc (http://www.gramene.org/pathway/) database. Developed by the Gramene database project, BrachyCyc is a catalog of predicted metabolic pathways from Brachypodium distachyon. Pathways and genes presented in this catalog are primarily based on the annotations carried out by Gramene on the version 1.2 of the gene models and release 1.0 of the Brachypodium distachyon inbred line Bd21 genome. The database was created using the Pathway Tools PathoLogic module developed by Peter D. Karp and coworkers at the Bioinformatics Research Group at SRI International.
This is a 1.2beta version release of the BrachyCyc. In future the database will undergo regular rounds of curation in order to integrate exciting new discoveries on biochemical pathways in Brachypodium. We welcome feedback from the research community to help us build a good quality network. You can reach us by sending a message to BrachyCyc curators.
