RiceCyc

[Pankaj Jaiswal]

Dear Ewa,

It was nice to learn that your group liked the RiceCyc and is actively 
using it for comparative purposes. We would like to your analyses of the 
data set. Also as you mentioned that your group would be emphasizing on 
secondary metabolism, is it possible for us to collaborate with you on 
curation of this pathway for rice with your help.

The Link for the RiceCyc is the same http://www.gramene.org/pathway/

Best regards

Pankaj
