Many biological pathway resourced provide their data in the BioPAX
format (http://www.biopax.org/index.php), a special XML format for
biological interaction networks. Examples are pathway commons
(http://www.pathwaycommons.org/pc/) and Reactome
(http://www.reactome.org (http://www.reactome.org/)).
A JAVA library for parsing BioPAX files exists:
http://www.biopax.org/paxtools.php
Has anybody used BioPAX files with R? Is it possible to read BioPAX
files in any R based graph structure? A solution similar to the
KEGGgraph package for KEGG pahways would be great, since more and more
databases start using BioPAX.
Any ideas are appreciated!
Cheers
Martin
