SymBioCyc

Participants : Ludovic Cottret, Marie-France Sagot [ Correspondent ] .

SymBioCyc is a database of metabolic data dedicated to endosymbiotic organisms (that is, to organisms that live within the body or cells of another organism). SymBioCyc follows the same representation model as BioCyc (http://www.biocyc.org/ ) but the data it contains has been expertised both automatically and manually by Ludovic Cottret. It will be made available to the academic research community in early 2007.
