Jump to ___ on "___" - opens the source gene list in Partek Pathway to the row of the selected gene

Selecting (Image Added) activates pan mode. This allows you to navigate around large pathway diagrams by left-clicking and dragging to move the view. 

The pathway database can be searched for genes of interest using the Search panel.

  • Select (Image Added) to open the search panel
  • Type NSF in the search box
  • Select (Image Added) to search

Pathways containing NSF appear on the right-hand side in the Search Results section in alphabetical order (Figure 9).

If multiple species or libraries have been loaded, the Filter Options section on the left-hand side can be used to choose which species and libraries to search. 

  • Double click on Synaptic vesicle cycle in the Search Results section

The selected pathway, Synaptic vesicle cycle, will open in the Pathway Diagram panel (Figure 10).

In the upper section of the dialog, you can view available KEGG libraries and download them by selecting the Download Library link. Selecting a pathway opens it in the lower section of the dialog.

In the lower section of the dialog, you can view a list of all pathways library selected in the upper panel. You can also open any pathway from the selected library in the Pathway Diagram panel. 

  • Select Adherens Junction
  • Select View Pathway to open the pathway diagram
