Current revision

We are working on an update to the WikiPathways editor for creating new pathways.

In the meantime, creating new pathways is possible using PathVisio and the WikiPathways Client Plugin. See below for details.

Creating a New Pathway

  • Launch PathVisio with the WP Client Plugin.
  • Load the appropriate species database and the metabolite database, if applicable.
  • Give your pathway name and assign a species: Select the "Pathway Information Area" (upper left corner), and in the "Properties" tab, enter a title in the "Title" field and select the correct species in the "Organism" drop-down.
  • Create your pathway.
  • Select Plugins -> WikiPathways -> Upload New. You will be asked to specify your login information and a description of the pathway.
  • That's it! Now go to the New Pathways listing to see your pathway.

For more information about how to setup PathVisio with the WikiPathways Client Plugin, see WikiPathways Client plugin documentation.
