BioCyc: Genome Database Collection

BioCyc is a collection of 19534 [as of 2021] Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs), plus software tools for understanding their data. It allows users to visualize the layout of genes within a chromosome, or of an individual biochemical reaction, or of a complete biochemical pathway. BioCyc provides a reference on the genomes and metabolic pathways of thousands of sequenced organisms. BioCyc PGDBs are generated by software that predict the metabolic pathways of completely sequenced organisms, predict which genes code for missing enzymes in metabolic pathways, and predict operons. BioCyc also integrates information from other bioinformatics databases, such as protein feature and Gene Ontology information from UniProt. The BioCyc website provides a suite of software tools for database searching and visualization, for omics data analysis, and for comparative genomics and comparative pathway questions. Access the data by visiting: BioCyc.

BioCyc是一个包含19534个[截至2021年]通路/基因组数据库（Pathway/Genome Databases, PGDBs）的集合，同时提供用于理解其数据的软件工具。它允许用户可视化染色体中基因的布局、单个生化反应的结构或完整生化通路的全貌。BioCyc为数千种已测序生物的基因组和代谢通路提供参考信息。BioCyc的PGDB由软件生成，该软件可预测已完成测序生物的代谢通路、代谢通路中编码缺失酶的基因以及操纵子（operons）。BioCyc还整合了来自其他生物信息学数据库的信息，例如UniProt中的蛋白质特征和基因本体论（Gene Ontology）信息。BioCyc网站提供一套软件工具，用于数据库搜索与可视化、组学（omics）数据分析以及比较基因组学和比较通路相关问题的研究。可通过访问BioCyc获取数据。
