KDB Explorer

Use Genostar's KDB Explorer for powerful functional analyses using KEGG data

Perform comparative and differential genomic analyses with multiple genomes, predict enzymatic activity

Explore, visualize and highlight the metabolic and non-metabolic pathways specific to your organism

Work interactively with KEGG data mirrored locally on your computer

See our special offer on KDB Explorer for academic labs

Explore data quickly, extensively, and confidentiality, through KEGG ortholog (KO) relations as well as through connections calculated specifically by Genostar's unique IOGMA^® technology.

Explore, query, and visualize relationships among genes, proteins, and metabolic and non-metabolic pathways:

• import and mirror the KEGG data on the organisms of interest to your research
• import other genome data in EMBL format
• calculate homology relationships between the coding sequences of multiple organisms
• compare genomes and identify genes specific to your strain or species
• predict enzymatic activity and explore the metabolic pathways specific to your organism
• use KEGG maps to visualize pathways
• identify and display the reactions catalyzed by the product of a group of genes, for example, specific or co-regulated genes as known from expression experiments, and visualize the metabolic pathways in which these reactions are located
• browse and explore data connected through KEGG orthologs (KO) to investigate non-enzymatic functions
  identify a set of genes implicated in a metabolic pathway, and visualize their locations on a genomic map
• ...and more

A set of add-on tools and functions are available for KDB Explorer, so you can choose to add in the analysis methods you need for your research

Search, navigate and highlight data with KDB Explorer
Consistent viewers and editors provide a clear view of all data and their relationships

Use KDB Explorer to identify CDSs,
the biochemical reactions catalyzed by their enzymes,

and show the KEGG pathway map (seen here) in which they are involved

KDB Explorer shows CDSs specific to a pathogenic strain,
visible on a genomic map when compared to a non-pathogenic strain
