One-stop destination to explore, analyze and visualize cyanobacteria genomes and metabolic pathways with easy-to-use bioinformatics tools
Our recent paper on CyanoCyc and the community curated Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 genome database is available here
CyanoCyc unique data content:
- Hundreds of cyanobacteria genomes; five curated from the cyanobacterial literature:
- New and old taxonomic nomenclature provided - easy to find your favorite cyanobacteria
- Find cyanobacteria based on phenotypes
- Curated information about protein function, transporters and pathways curated by biochemists and cyanobacteriologists with evidence from cyanobacteria literature
- Carry out comparative analyses on up to 70 cyanobacteria at a time
- Overlay omics data onto the metabolic map diagrams
- Align sequences within a single organism or across multiple organisms via a variety of available tools
