Portals within WikiPathways serve as organizing points for communities with focused pathway interests. For example, a portal could organize pathways for a particular species or research area. The main advantages of portals include:

  • Simplifying drawing and databasing of your pathways
  • Help to keep track of ‘works-in-progress’ with collaborators
  • Help attribute credit for pathway authors and curators
  • Attract new collaborators
  • Help to define a community

WikiPathways currently has nine portals, highlighting pathway content contributed by specific communities:
