Newt is a web-based tool to analyze biological maps in standard formats such as PD and AF languages of SBGN, SBML, and SIF.
This project aims to provide database support for Newt. SGBN maps stored on the database using Newt must be stored in an integrated manner ( i.e. fit like a puzzle with the existing database ).
Furthermore, Newt must also provide the functionality to query the database for maps of interest, based on genes of interest using algorithms such as shortest path between entities, k-neighborhood, upstream/downstream of an entity, etc.
