Re: Size estimates of current LS space

Hi folks,

   One resource that is likely to be of use in the pathway space is  
the pathguide:
It has detailed statistics about the size of each database and other   
metadata for about 222 biological pathway databases.
This is the target space for conversion to BioPAX.

Sincerely,

Jeremy
