Release Notes

Release 4.1, December 9, 1997

• The compound data has been fully integrated. A circle on the pathway diagram is now a clickable and searchable object.
• All image maps are now handled at client side, which enables easy recognition of clickable area by the cursor.
• The gene catalog for each organism now contains the classification of regulatory pathways.
• The pathway search routines by EC numbers, compound numbers, and gene names can now be used as an e-mail server. The address is: pathway@genome.ad.jp.

Release 4.0, October 3, 1997

• A set of gene names of a given organism can be used as a query to search matching names on the KEGG pathways.
• A set of amino acid sequences can be used as a query to search similar sequences on the KEGG pathways, which will be especially useful in pathway reconstruction.

Release 3.1, July 30, 1997

• KEGG Release 3.1 contains a new collection of regulatory pathways, in addition to the previous collection of metabolic pathways.

Release 0.3, May 14, 1996

• The clickable chromosome maps are available for accessing GDB and OMIM data.
• The enzyme classification according to PROSITE patterns is added.
• The metabolic pathway data are being verified with different sources and modified accordingly.

Release 0.2, March 21, 1996

• The pathway data for most of the known metabolic pathways have been entered and properly classified. They may now be accessed through a clickable diagram.
• The genes tables are available for 13 species and human disease genes.
• It is now possible to identify enzymes that appear in OMIM, PDB, and PIR databases. Click the title box in each pathway diagram.
• To assist enzyme search against the pathway diagrams, a new window is added for EC number search.

Release 0.1, December 1, 1995

• A bare backbone of KEGG is available consisting of gene classification tables for selected organisms, three types of enzyme classification tables, and a selected number of metabolic pathway diagrams.
• The basic capabilities of hierarchical text handling and graphics diagram handling are available.
• The search capabilities include key word search on a hierarchical text and enzyme (boxed object) search on pathway diagrams.
• A repertoire of enzyme genes in each category may be identified on the corresponding pathway diagram. Click the link marked MAP in the gene classification table.
