Searching

To search for a pathway, type the name of the pathway in the Search field in the left-hand navigation panel that is available on all pages. WikiPathways search is a Google search, so search results will include all pages with a hit for the keyword anywhere in the page.

Browsing

You can browse pathways by species or by category.

  • To browse all pathways for a particular species or category, go to Browse Pathways. Two drop-down menus are available for browsing pathways by species or category. Select your species of interest in the first drop-down menu and the category of interest in the second drop-down. All pathways for the species will be listed in alphabetical order. Clicking on any of the pathway names will bring you to the Pathway Page for the selected pathway.
  • To browse pathways by functional category, select one of the categories (Cellular Process, Metabolic Process, Physiological Process and Molecular Function) in the Contents section of the main page. This gives you a list of pathways from all species in that category. Clicking on any of the pathway names will bring you to the Pathway Page for the selected pathway.

Pathway of the Day

The Pathway of the Day is randomly assigned and displayed on the main page and clicking on the pathway name will bring you to the Pathway Page for the selected pathway.
