A systematic comparison of the MetaCyc and KEGG pathway databases

BMC Bioinformatics

Table 10 Degree to which pathways in MetaCyc (M) and KEGG (K) have their reactions linked to the other DB

ReactionCoverage	M(base)	K(module)	M(super)	K(map)
All reactionslinked	549	73	0	3
Some reactionslinked	731	80	73	128
No reactionslinked	566	26	223	106

For example, for three KEGG maps, all reactions in the pathway are present in MetaCyc.
