Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)

The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) is a comprehensive database that maps out how genes, proteins, and molecules interact within living organisms. It helps scientists understand biological processes, such as how cells grow, respond to their environment, or develop diseases. KEGG provides detailed diagrams and information about metabolic pathways, genetic information, and molecular functions, serving as a valuable resource for research in biology, medicine, and biotechnology. Essentially, it acts as a biological roadmap, illustrating how various components of life are interconnected at the molecular level.
