TabPath: interactive tables for metabolic pathway analysis

Bioinformatics. 2018 Mar 15;34(6):1040-1042. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btx714.

Abstract

Motivation: Information about metabolic pathways in a comparative context is one of the most powerful tool to help the understanding of genome-based differences in phenotypes among organisms. Although several platforms exist that provide a wealth of information on metabolic pathways of diverse organisms, the comparison among organisms using metabolic pathways is still a difficult task.

Results: We present TabPath (Tables for Metabolic Pathway), a web-based tool to facilitate comparison of metabolic pathways in genomes based on KEGG. From a selection of pathways and genomes of interest on the menu, TabPath generates user-friendly tables that facilitate analysis of variations in metabolism among the selected organisms.

Availability and implementation: TabPath is available at http://200.239.132.160:8686.
