a database dedicated to the metabolism of arthropods
CycADS has been successfully used to generate AcypiCyc, the pea aphid BioCyc database, and we decided to build a (metabol)omic database for other arthropods, which genome sequence is available. We kept the same workflow parameters for collecting data from metabolic genes annotation methods (KAAS, Blast2GO, Priam, PhylomeDB).
Collecting and organizing information into databases is usefull for the researchers studying the metabolism of their newly sequenced model organisms, and to better understand different aspects of arthropods biology. Furthermore, the availability of multiple species genome sequences opens the way to comparative studies. ArthropodaCyc allows users to compare the metabolism of different arthropods using Pathway Tools.
