GenMAPP Collaborators

Several groups have contributed to GenMAPP by creating custom databases or submitting pathway MAPPs. Here are some examples of these collaborations.

Escherichia coli K12 Gene Database

Dr. Kam Dahlquist, Dr. John David N. Dionisio, and the Bioinformatics group at Loyola Marymount University (http://myweb.lmu.edu/kdahlqui/Contact.htm) have created a gene database for Escherichia coli K12. The database was created programmatically using XMLPipeDB based on the UniProt complete proteome set and GOA gene associations to Gene Ontology. The database contains several gene ID systems, including UniProt, Blattner, EchoBASE and EcoGene. It also contains annotation information from EMBL, Gene Ontology, InterPro, PDB and Pfam. The database is available for download through the Downloader tool in GenMAPP, as well as at http://www.cs.lmu.edu/~xmlpipedb/download.shtml. A detailed ReadMe document describing the database schema is packaged with the database.
 

Schizosaccharomyces pombe Gene Database and pathway MAPPs
Through a collaboration with NIPER (National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research) in Punjab, India, GenMAPP has been implemented for fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The database and MAPP archive are available at http://www.databases.niper.ac.in/Pombe/ The database is based on Sanger GeneDB IDs, and also contains UniProt IDs and Pfam, InterProt and EC number annotation.
 
NetPath pathway MAPPs

A set of 10 cancer and 10 immune signaling pathways have been added to the GenMAPP Contributed MAPP archive, as part of an ongoing collaboration with NetPath. NetPath (http://www.netpath.org/) is a human pathway annotation project, initiated by the PandeyLab at Johns Hopkins University (http://pandeylab.igm.jhmi.edu) and the Institute of Bioinformatics (http://www.ibioinformatics.org). The 10 cancer signaling pathways were developed in collaboration with the Computational Biology Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (http://cbio.mskcc.org) and with Gary Bader's lab at the University of Toronto (http://baderlab.org) for the Cancer Cell Map (http://cancer.cellmap.org). All 20 pathways are freely available in GenMAPP, PSI-MI and BioPAX formats at http://www.netpath.org.  The 10 cancer signaling pathways are also available for download and browsing from http://cancer.cellmap.org. All 20 pathways have been inferred from human to all other GenMAPP supported species.
These pathways are unpublished at this time; please cite these websites until the pathways are described in a publication.  Feedback about the NetPath site and its contents can be sent to: info@netpath.org
 

SGD metabolic pathway MAPPs
  Students at Vassar College worked with Dr. Kam Dahlquist to adapt a set of pathway MAPPs for S.cerevisiae based on the metabolic pathways at SGD, http://pathway.yeastgenome.org/biocyc/. The 120 pathways are packaged as a MAPP archive, available for download through the Downloader feature in GenMAPP.
 
 
  Rat pathway MAPPs  
A set of pathway MAPPs representing processes relevant to toxicology have been submitted by Dr. Sebastien Burel at Neurocrine Biosciences Inc. A total of 8 MAPPs were submitted for rat, and they have also been inferred to all other supported species.
