PathCase is a system designed to provide life scientists with an integrated environment to study pathways, regardless of the source producing the corresponding data. It includes databases for different pathway data sources, web interfaces for viewing the information in the databases, tools for analyzing the data, and web services to access the data programmatically.
This thesis describes the design and implementation of new touch screen-based tools to view and analyze the data in the PathCaseKEGG and PathCaseMAW databases. The first tool, iPathCase-SMDA, provides compartment-aware pathway visualizations and access to the Steady-State Metabolic Network Dynamics Analysis tool. The second tool, iPathCase-KEGG, provides visualizations of KEGG pathways, including relevant information from other data sources outside of PathCaseKEGG and KEGG.
