An Entity of Type: language, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

BioPAX (Biological Pathway Exchange) is a RDF/OWL-basedstandard language to represent biological pathwaysat the molecular and cellular level. Its major use is to facilitate the exchange of pathway data.Pathway data captures our understanding of biological processes, butits rapid growth necessitates development of databases and computational tools to aidinterpretation. However, the current fragmentation of pathway information across manydatabases with incompatible formats presents barriers to its effective use. BioPAX solves thisproblem by making pathway data substantially easier to collect, index, interpret and share.BioPAX can represent metabolic and signaling pathways, molecular and genetic interactions andgene regulation networks.

  • BioPAX (Biological Pathway Exchange) is a RDF/OWL-basedstandard language to represent biological pathwaysat the molecular and cellular level. Its major use is to facilitate the exchange of pathway data.Pathway data captures our understanding of biological processes, butits rapid growth necessitates development of databases and computational tools to aidinterpretation. However, the current fragmentation of pathway information across manydatabases with incompatible formats presents barriers to its effective use. BioPAX solves thisproblem by making pathway data substantially easier to collect, index, interpret and share.BioPAX can represent metabolic and signaling pathways, molecular and genetic interactions andgene regulation networks. BioPAX was created through a community process. Through BioPAX,millions of interactions organized into thousands of pathways across many organisms, from agrowing number of sources, are available. Thus, large amounts of pathway data are available in acomputable form to support visualization, analysis and biological discovery. It is supported by a variety of online databases (e.g. Reactome) and tools. The latest released version is BioPAX Level 3. There is also an effort to create a version of BioPAX as part of OBO. (en)
