Gene Pathways
This dataset contains the biological pathways on which the analyzed genes are part of. These pathways are useful on inferring relationships between chemicals, genes and diseases when the gene and the disease or chemical in some way share independent relationships with the same pathway.

Description
The dataset from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) contains different types of standardized identifications for the pathway and the gene to provide a cross-platform compatibility making able to identify the pathway and the gene in major science databases and to locate the references for the research in which the inference was based.
Chemicals are among the main environmental factors that influence health and the way these can cause disease is not totally understood. The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database purpose is to provide a tool to generate new hypotheses on the mechanism of chemicals in the development of diseases by collecting curated data reported in the scientific literature on chemicals, genes and diseases and making inferences on the relationships of these three elements. This is accomplished through transitive inference, which happens when for example a chemical and a disease share interactions with one or more genes, thus inferring that there is a relationship between the chemical and the disease linked to a process or product of the particular genes, with this information could be inferred the mechanism of action of the chemical upon the gene to produce the disease, the genes linked to the disease, the physiopathology of the disease and other inferences. “For example, if chemical A interacts with gene B, and independently gene B is associated with disease C, then chemical A is inferred to have a relationship with disease C (via gene B).” (1) These inferences could be given in other directions, for example, a gene and a disease could share the same group of chemicals; also the inferences could have direct evidence in which there are published research with evidence of the relationship, while other inferences don’t have direct evidence in the literature and can be used to create new testable hypothesis about the mechanism of disease, initiate new research on the relationship and potentially predict disease treatment and prevention.

Data Fields
Name | Description | Type | Constraints |
---|---|---|---|
Gene_Symbol | Short-form abbreviation of the name of the gene. The approved symbols for human genes are collected in the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee database; each name and symbol is unique for every gene and can be applied for other species. | string | required : 1 |
Gene_ID | Unique identifier for the gene of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)’s Entrez Gene database. This Entrez Gene unique integer can be browsed in the Entrez system online to find nomenclature, sequence, products and other specific details of the gene. The identifier is species specific, a gene ID of a human gene can’t be applied to the same gene of a different species. | string | - |
Pathway_Name | Official name of the pathway involved in the interaction. A pathway is a series of steps in biological processes at a molecular level that leads to a biological change; a pathway is possible due to the activities of multiple gene products and other elements. Pathways involve molecular interactions and reactions pertaining to metabolism, genetic information processing, environmental information processing, cellular processes, organismal systems, human diseases and drug development. Every pathway has a generic or standardized name that helps on obtaining an overview of the pathway’s nature, others have unique but well-known names, for example, the Krebs cycle. | string | required : 1 |
Pathway_ID | KEGG or REACTOME identifier. Alphanumerical code that identifies the pathway in the lookup of the KEGG or the REACTOME databases. KEGG Pathway Database is a collection of manually drawn pathway maps representing the knowledge on the molecular interaction and reaction networks for metabolism, genetic information processing, environmental information processing, cellular processes, organismal systems, human diseases and drug development. The Reactome Pathway Database is a curated database of pathways and reactions (pathway steps) in human biology. The Reactome definition of a 'reaction' includes many events in biology that are changes in state, such as binding, activation, translocation and degradation, in addition to classical biochemical reactions. Information in the database is authored by expert biologist researchers, maintained by Reactome editorial staff, and extensively cross-referenced to other resources e.g. NCBI, Ensembl, UniProt, UCSC Genome Browser, HapMap, KEGG (Gene and Compound), ChEBI, PubMed and GO. | string | required : 1 |
