What is Pathomx FOR LINUX?

Pathomx

Pathomx (formerly known as MetaPath) is a cool open-source software that runs on IPython, Qt, and PyQt. It's built to be an interactive tool for looking at and analyzing metabolic data, especially for those using GNU/Linux and other POSIX operating systems. Originally, it was created to handle metabolomics data.

Key Features of Pathomx

This software has some great features! You can import and export NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) data, process spectra with options like normalization, binning, and alignment. Plus, it allows you to visualize and mine metabolic pathways! You can also bring in genomic and metabolomics data through different methods to see how they fit into specific pathways.

MetaCyc Database Integration

A big advantage of Pathomx is its connection to the MetaCyc database. This means you get handy annotations like database unification links, synonyms, related pathways, and reactions. Just remember that the MetaCyc database comes from a public API!

Powerful Tools Under the Hood

This application uses the robust MetaCyc database to explore complex datasets quickly. It has a bunch of plugins that you can customize too! For number crunching, it relies on libraries like Numpy and Scipy. For graphing, it uses Matplotlib along with nmrglue for importing NMR data. Want interactive graphs? That’s where d3.js comes in handy! And if you're into statistical analysis methods, scikit-learn has got your back.

Compatibility Across Platforms

If we peek under the hood of Pathomx, we see it's built on an IPython command shell. It works smoothly on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X too! You can grab pre-built binary packages for those systems. For GNU/Linux users, though, you'll find it distributed as a gzipped source archive compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms.

User Tips for Pathomx

A quick heads up when using Pathomx: It pulls in data from the MetaCyc pathway database as part of the BioCyc family. The MetaCyc API helps create this local database you'll be working with.
