What is Reactome?
Reactome is a curated database of pathways and reactions in human biology. Reactions can be considered as pathway ‘steps’. Reactome defines a ‘reaction’ as any event in biology that changes the state of a biological molecule. Binding, activation, translocation, degradation and classical biochemical events involving a catalyst are all reactions. Information in the database is authored by expert biologists, entered and maintained by Reactome’s team of Curators and Editorial staff. Reactome content frequently cross-references other resources e.g. NCBI, Ensembl, UniProt, KEGG (Gene and Compound), ChEBI, PubMed and GO. Inferred orthologous reactions Inferred orthologous reactions are available for 15 non-human species including mouse, rat, chicken, puffer fish, worm, fly, yeast, rice, and Arabidopsis
