WikiPathways (Lipid portal)

Resource for (Lipid) pathway models

Description

WikiPathways (https://www.wikipathways.org) is a collaborative database platform to collect and curate biological pathway models by the research community, embracing open science approaches. A dedicated portal (http://lipids.wikipathways.org) is available to browse current data, download all lipid pathways for analysis (in PathVisio or Cytsocape), access the content through semantic web technologies (RDF SPARQL endpoint) or programming interface (API). Pathways are available for human (Homo sapiens) and mouse (Mus musculus) species and can be converted to other species (to integrate with other -omics data).
