Hypothesis
The development of a tool for web publication of user-developed large scale annotated pathway diagrams is necessary for real-time access to biological pathway knowledgebases.
Conclusion
The BioPP tools and public repository facilitate the sharing of pathway knowledgebases and interactive curation for research teams and scientific communities.
Supporting Evidence
- BioPP allows users to convert their CD-SBML files to HTML for restricted use or public access.
- The suite includes a pathway repository for user-deposited knowledgebases.
- All entities in the knowledgebases are linked to public database entries.
Takeaway
BioPP is a software that helps scientists share and publish complex biological pathway diagrams on the web, making it easier for everyone to access and contribute to the information.
Methodology
The BioPP suite consists of a pathway publisher, an upload web-interface, a pathway repository, and a pathway navigator, allowing users to convert and publish pathways in a web-accessible format.
Limitations
The tool may not support all features of existing standalone software for pathway construction and visualization.
