FUNGIpath v.4.0 Explore fungal metabolism
FUNGIpath (iGenolevure version) is a web service dedicated to the exploration of yeasts (Saccharomycetales) metabolism.
FUNGIpath predicts groups of orthologous proteins in fungal genomes with the MaRiO pipeline (Reference here ). Orthology groups are annotated with the FUNGIpath annotation pipeline based on Swiss-Prot and MetaCyc data. Fonctional annotations of groups allows an easy comparison of the metabolism whithin species represented in the associated database.
The 34 species for which data are currently available in the yeast version of FUNGIpath (v.1.0 - june 2015) are listed below:

Explore pathways
The major goal of the "Explore Pathways" section is to check the conservation rate of general metabolic pathways represented by a chain of known enzymatic reactions (with full EC numbers only) among your particular selection of genomes (see details on Species selection below).
Available pathways from KEGG or MetaCyc should be chosen in drop-down menus (form 1 ), identified using keywords (form 2 ) or a set of included EC numbers (form 3 ).
For each EC number, you can access to the content of a set of ortholog groups harboring at least one protein from any of your Species of interest and to the sequences of the corresponding proteins (fasta formatted).
Results rely on the EC numbers attributed to each orthology group of FUNGIpath. Standard pathways from KEGG or MetaCyc should be analysed for their representation in fungi along with BioPax2 formatted pathways (Please, follow the help section to write your own pathway and load it in form 4 ).
According to the wide choice of combination of Species, new searches should take a while. Already done searches are permanantly stored on our server.
Search for orthologs
The "Search for orthologs" section is dedicaced to the exploration of FUNGIpath orthology groups.
Groups matching with keywords (annotated groups only): Keywords will be searched in group function or EC numbers definition (form 1).
Search orthologs of your protein (FUNGIpath species only): You will get a table presenting orthologs of the submitted protein (form 2). Prefer the sequence submission (form 3) if you dont know the protein ID.
Search for the closiest orthology group of your protein : The amino-acids sequence of the submitted protein (any origin) will be compared to HMM profiles of orthology groups and the best hit reported.
Whole genome approach : Orthologs tables show groups harboring proteins of your selection of genomes along with their inferred function and EC numbers (form 4). Tables should be very big but are downloadable and should be filtered using various criteria.

Species selection
By default all FUNGIpath species are selected.
Select your own species here :
Click on "Change the status of all genomes to allowed".
Change the status of your species of interest to "selected".
When all other species are allowed, queries will return orthology groups containing any proteins from your selected species. If you are interested in more specific genes, you can change the status of some "allowed" species to "excluded" to restrict results to orthology groups without orthologs in excluded species.
