SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enable researchers to quickly find, inspect, and analyze biological pathways and individual reactions without manually navigating Reactome APIs or parsing heterogeneous results.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Keyword pathway search: find pathway records and IDs using natural-language queries.
  • Pathway details and participants: retrieve pathway metadata, component proteins/genes, and reaction summaries.
  • Pathway enrichment: submit gene lists to AnalysisService to identify enriched Reactome pathways and associated statistics.
  • Use Case: given a list of differentially expressed genes, identify the top Reactome pathways, fetch diagrams, and list constituent proteins for downstream interpretation.

Quick Start

Run a pathway enrichment on the gene list BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, ATM, CHEK2 and return the top Reactome pathways with p-values and found gene counts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run pathway enrichment on a list of differentially expressed genes?

Pathway enrichment submits a gene list to the Reactome AnalysisService API to identify enriched biological pathways, returning associated statistics like p-values and found gene counts for downstream interpretation.

How do I find biological pathway details and constituent proteins using a pathway ID?

Retrieving pathway details uses the Reactome ContentService API to fetch pathway metadata, component proteins and genes, and reaction summaries directly from a provided pathway ID.

Can I search for biological pathways using natural language keywords?

Yes, keyword pathway search accepts natural-language queries to find matching biological pathway records and their corresponding Reactome IDs for human and model organisms.

What's the best way to identify top Reactome pathways from a gene list without manually parsing APIs?

Submitting gene symbols like BRCA1 and TP53 to the AnalysisService automatically identifies top Reactome pathways, eliminating the need to manually navigate Reactome APIs or parse heterogeneous results.

Does pathway enrichment support model organisms or only human gene lists?

Pathway enrichment and retrieval support both human and model organisms, accepting standard gene symbols, pathway IDs, or search keywords as inputs for biological pathway analysis.

Why do I need HTTP access to perform Reactome pathway analysis?

Reactome pathway analysis requires HTTP access to communicate with the ContentService and AnalysisService API endpoints for fetching diagrams, listing participants, and running gene list enrichment.
