Summary:
The 2004 annual Cell Signaling issue in Science and Science's STKE brings new pathways to the Connections Maps cell signaling database, as well as highlights updates to pathways featured previously. The new pathways reveal core signaling modules common to yeast, plants, and animals. Opportunities for using the Connections Maps database expand with the availability of an XML-formatted version of the data and the addition of The Blueprint Initiative as a new technical provider for the cell signaling database.
