Figure Lengend Snippet: Makeup of the BioPAX models from three resources (PID, KEGG, ACSN). The BioPAX files of the three resources were parsed in order to identify Physical Entities, Controls ( Catalysis and TemplateReactionRegulation ) and Reactions ( Conversion and TemplateReaction ). For the ACSN resources, Physical Entities were curated in order to reanotate their types when possible. The curation processes focused on compressing duplicate entities and creating controls (with the type catalysis) for reactions where a reactant is also a product.
Article Snippet: We performed a systematic content analysis of 2 databases available on Pathway Commons, PID (cell signaling) and KEGG (metabolism and signaling reactions), as well as the ACSN database (Cancer signaling network), which are the largest reaction databases available in the BioPAX format.
