In particular, gene catalogs from completely sequenced genomes are linked to higher-level systemic functions of the cell, the organism and the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Major efforts have been undertaken to manually create a knowledge base for such systemic functions by capturing and organizing experimental knowledge in computable forms; namely, in the forms of molecular networks called KEGG pathway maps, BRITE functional hierarchies and KEGG modules. Continuous efforts have also been made to develop and improve the cross-species annotation procedure for linking genomes to the molecular networks through the KEGG Orthology (KO) system. <\/p>\n<p>As the result, KEGG is widely used as a reference knowledge base for integration and interpretation of large-scale datasets generated by genome sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies. In addition to maintaining the aspects to support basic research, KEGG is being expanded towards more practical applications integrating human diseases, drugs and other health-related substances.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kegg.jp\/kegg\/kegg1.html\">KEGG<\/a> is developed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kanehisa.jp\/\">Kanehisa Laboratories<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>To register, please go <a href=\"http:\/\/hsls.libguides.com\/molbio\/kegg\">here<\/a>.
