There are many ways to connect with a PMN curator at the Plant and Animal Genome XIX Conference in San Diego, California. You can attend a computer demo featuring speakers from three groups who provide plant metabolic pathway databases, read our poster, or get one-on-one help at the Plant Genome DB Outreach Consortium booth 

• Computer Demo:

Sunday, January 16, 3:50 PM

• Poster: C891
• Booth: 427

We look forward to seeing you there! 
 

New viewer for a global metabolic map

• Do you want to highlight a compound or reaction on a global metabolic map for a single species?
• Would you like to overlay your transcript expression, proteomic, or metabolomic data onto a zoomable set of pathways?

Please come check out the new metabolic (cellular) overview using AraCyc or PoplarCyc. 

• Do you want a better understanding of how new PMN databases get predicted from genome sequences?
• Would you like to read about potential ways to put the PMN to work in your research project?

Please come check out our recent article in Plant Physiology for this information and much more . . .

The Plant Metabolic Network is pleased to announce new releases of the metabolic pathway databases AraCyc 6.0 and PlantCyc 3.0, plus the inaugural release of PoplarCyc 1.0

This PMN release includes many updates to AraCyc enzyme/reaction assignments based on a new PMN enzyme annotation pipeline, plus, 34 additional pathways have been added to AraCyc 6.0.

PoplarCyc 1.0 was created by applying the PMN enzyme annotation pipeline to the Populus trichocarpa 1.1 genome release sequences provided by JGI, and then using the Pathologic software from SRI International. The new computationally predicted database was then validated by PMN curators. 321 pathways and 3434 predicted poplar enzymes are now available in PoplarCyc 1.0. The data have also been incorporated into PlantCyc 3.0. In addition, 75 new pathways have been added to the new version of PlantCyc.

The PMN also now provides a BLAST tool and two customized enzyme sets for PMN users.
