ArtSymbioCyc, a metabolic network database collection dedicated to insect symbioses

The ArtSymbioCyc database is a collection of genomic resources for insect hosts and their obligate symbiotic or commensal bacteria annotated with the CycADS information system. Dedicated to metabolism, ArtSymbioCyc uses the powerful tools of the BioCyc community to analyze, compare and model the metabolic networks of the symbiotic partners on a genome-wide scale (including pathways, reactions or metabolites). The ArtSymbioCyc database collection is a dedicated resource that provides tools to study and compare the adaptive metabolic capacities of symbiotic organisms and to identify specific targets that may destabilize symbiotic equilibria and be useful for pest control. Here we put the functional annotation data used to reconstruct the metabolic networks from the different databases, as well as the reactions and metabolic networks that were inferred.
