This tutorial explains you how to create a pathway on WikiPathways, using the Circadian clock pathway as example.

The circadian clock pathway

The circadian clock is a molecular mechanism that maintains the cell's 24-hour molecular rhythm by driving the rhythmic expression of a wide range of genes, involved in metabolism, physiology and behaviour. In this tutorial, you will draw a simplified version of the pathway, restricting to the mPer/mCry feedback loop.

Step by step guide to drawing the circadian clock pathway

The following pages show you step-by-step how to draw a simplified version of the circadian clock pathway as described in the section above.

Commonly used terms

Sidepanel
The panel containing the Properties and Backpage tabs (see screenshot 1B).
Drawing area
The area on which the pathway is drawn (see screenshot 1A).
Property table
The table where you can edit properties of the currently selected object(s). The property

table is located in the sidepanel under the tab named 'Properties'.

Backpage browser
A panel that gives detailed annotation info on the currently selected DataNode. The Backpage browser

is located in the sidepanel under the tab named 'Backpage'.

Toolbar
see screenshot 1C.
Infobox
Displays information about the pathway (see screenshot 1D).
