RiceCyc

[Urbanczyk-Wochniak, Ewa]

Dear Curators,

 

 

Recently I came across the RiceCyc database at
http://www.gramene.org/pathway/, which I found really interesting. We
are working now on similar Medicago truncatula biochemical pathways
database. So far we have a preliminary MedicCyc (temporary name for
MedicagoCyc) and we are doing curation on 1.0 version. We are using
annotation from affy chip (about 60K of non-redundant Madicago
truncatula transcripts) for building first Medicago pathways. We are
going to publish it on our web page soon, but we would like to compare
MedicCyc with yours RiceCyc and AraCyc for unique datasets in plants.
Manuscript, describing MedicCyc and comparing the other databases is
under preparation now, and we assume to have it ready soon. On our web
and in manuscript we would like to reference the RiceCyc URL. For
primary metabolism we are almost exactly reproducing from AraCyc and
RiceCyc. Our major interest lays in secondary metabolism, since at The
Noble Foundation we have real experts in this field (especially in
isoflavonoids and triterpene saponin). When the Medicago genome is
released (hopefully at the beginning of next year) and better annotation
become available, we will continue the MediCyc curation process.

 

All the best,

 

Ewa
