Information management system for biochemical information

摘要

An information management system [="IMS"] for managing biochemical information (200). The IMS comprises structured descriptions of biochemical pathways (700) that are formed of at least pathways (212), biochemical entities (218), connections (216) and interactions (222), such that each pathway (212) relates to one or more connections (216); each connection (216) joins one biochemical entity (218) and one interaction (222); and each pathway (212) relates to a specific location (214). The IMS also comprises means (220) for receiving genetic information from one or more sequence data bases, wherein the genetic information associations of an identifier of a gene and a coding area of the gene and a logic for automatically creating biochemical pathways from the genetic information.
