BioCyc Mission

BioCyc aims to accelerate science by developing (1) high-quality and extensive organism databases that integrate a broad range of data and knowledge, and (2) extensive and easy to use software tools for searching, analyzing, and visualizing those databases.

BioCyc Developers

BioCyc is developed by the Bioinformatics Research Group (BRG), led by Dr. Peter Karp. BRG is part of the Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI International. SRI is a non-profit research institute in the San Francisco Bay Area. Additional contributors:

The group of Ian Paulsen contributes to the EcoCyc database and to multiple additional BioCyc databases

Organism Filter:

Find in tree:

Find organism databases according to:

Organism characteristics, e.g. pathogenicity = human
Collection metadata, e.g. human microbiome body site = blood
Database properties, e.g. # (number) of Genes < 500

Database lists include both predefined lists and lists that are saved as SmartTables that you can edit from your My SmartTables page. To add all organisms from a saved list, check the box next to the list name and then click the "Add" button.
