Enteropathway
is a functional annotation database developed by the Yamada Laboratory of the School of Bioscience and Biotechnology at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, which contains more than 800 functional units (modules) and can be instantly explored with software that interactively visualise the relationships between genes and metabolites. Enteropathway is a database of gut bacteria-associated metabolic pathways, where the pathways are manually curated by researchers and linked to reference literature. It is useful for exploring basic metabolic pathways as well as for exploring new functions and for users to develop their own analyses.
Our own unique Pathways
Metabolic pathways which organized on a customizable web UI.
Original own data can be mapped to pathways and statistical analyses can be performed on the web.
Functional unit information is also downloadable and can be used for analyses carried out by users themselves.
