Querying and computing with BioCyc databases

Bioinformatics. 2005 Aug 15;21(16):3454-5. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/bti546. Epub 2005 Jun 16.

Abstract

We describe multiple methods for accessing and querying the complex and integrated cellular data in the BioCyc family of databases: access through multiple file formats, access through Application Program Interfaces (APIs) for LISP, Perl and Java, and SQL access through the BioWarehouse relational database.
