“…However, these databases tend to differ in the average number of pathways they contain, the average number of proteins per pathway, the types of biochemical interactions they incorporate, and the subcategories of pathways that they provide (e.g., signal transduction, genetic interaction, and metabolic) (Kirouac et al, 2012; Türei et al, 2016). Pathways are often also described at varying levels of detail, with diverse data types and with loosely defined boundaries (Domingo-Fernández et al, 2018). Nonetheless, most pathway analyses are still conducted exclusively by employing a single database, often chosen in part by researchers’ preferences or previous experiences (e.g., bias towards a database previously yielding good results and ease of use of a particular database) ( Table 1 ).…”
