Metabolic Pathway Analysis for Bacterial Genomes
Reconstruction of metabolic and regulatory pathways.
Pathway analysis puts annotated genes together into complete metabolic routes. It shows which pathways your strain has in full, which are missing steps, and what that means for its growth and products.
It is especially useful for questions like whether a strain can make a vitamin, ferment a sugar or produce a metabolite of interest.
What you receive
- List of KEGG pathways and modules with completeness
- Pathway maps with your strain's genes highlighted
- Missing steps in pathways of interest
- Interpretation of key metabolic capabilities
How we do it
- 1
KEGG mapping
Genes are assigned KEGG orthology numbers with BlastKOALA.
- 2
Pathway reconstruction
Assigned genes are mapped onto KEGG pathways and modules.
- 3
Gap check
We list missing steps and consider alternative enzymes.
- 4
Interpretation
We explain what the pathways mean for your research question.
When you need it
- Predicting vitamin, amino acid or metabolite production
- Explaining growth requirements
- Choosing strains for metabolic engineering
Questions
Does a complete pathway mean the product is made?
It means the genes are present. Expression and activity depend on conditions, so lab measurements confirm production.
