Reactome Research Spotlight

[April 13, 2026] In their March 2025 Society of Toxicology paper “A workflow for human health hazard evaluation using transcriptomic data and Key Characteristics-based gene sets”, Tsai et al. present a systematic workflow for linking transcriptomic data to chemical hazard identification using Key Characteristics (KCs). Reactome and KEGG pathways were mapped to 34 umbrella KC terms collated from seven published hazard KC sets, generating 34 "KC gene sets" for each database for enrichment analysis. Tested against gene expression data for benzene, TCDD, sunitinib, and a negative control, the KEGG- and Reactome-derived KC gene sets successfully identified mechanistically relevant hazard terms - demonstrating a transparent, reusable approach for integrating transcriptomics into regulatory toxicology.
