This two-part workshop oriented around SRI's Pathway Tools software and BioCyc Database Collection will explore pathway bioinformatics and Pathway/Genome Databases.
The workshop will be held at SRI International in Menlo Park, CA in the San Francisco Bay Area, with proximity to redwood forests, the Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, and Northern California beaches.
Part 1: Tutorial, August 19-21
This introductory tutorial will educate the new user on aspects of Pathway Tools including basic use of the Pathway/Genome Navigator, Editors, and PathoLogic. Students can bring a genome and leave with a draft Pathway/Genome Database.Tutorial space is limited.
Part 2: Workshop August 24-28
The workshop will combine formal presentations by groups outside SRI International (invited speakers and speakers selected through an abstract-submission process), tutorials by SRI International staff, and a hackathon. Suggested topics include but are not limited to:
- Share expertise on how to develop new organism-specific databases with Pathway Tools
- Present new scientific results achieved with Pathway Tools and BioCyc
- Share experiences on how to make the most of Pathway Tools
- Presentations by users on extensions they have developed to Pathway Tools
- Presentations by SRI International on recent and planned developments to the software, and on software APIs and the database schema, to educate users on how to compute with PGDBs
- Discussions of requested future enhancements to Pathway Tools and BioCyc
- Ideas for other software tools to integrate with Pathway Tools
- Group development of new Pathway Tools enhancements
