Abstract
Recently, plant metabolomics is an important research methods for plant omics research. For plant metabolomics research, an integrated database for metabolite and related information (e.g. metabolic pathway) focused on plants is necessary. In this context, it is especially important to construct integrated compound database.
We have developed the GenomeNet database for chemical information to integrate compound/drug databases in the MEXT Integrated Database project. The database provides an integrative search interface of KEGG compound information and other compound/drug databases (e.g. KNApSAcK, PubChem, lipidmaps, lipidbanks). We also develop several tools to analyze chemical structure and reactions, and provide them as GenomeNet tools for chemical analysis. In addition, GenomeNet database for chemical information is highly linked to KEGG databases, which allows users to easily reach pathway and/or genome information from compound search. We introduce current status of GenomeNet database for chemical information and related tools.
