Where am I in the cell?

Runs across every level of the tree

The control layer

The tree shows what the parts are. The control layer shows how they are coordinated, informed and built. Each lens appears as a section on system, pathway and protein pages, and has its own page here.

Interdependence

Which system needs what from which, and why, including two-way dependencies.

Ready

Information

The genome, the genetic code, epigenetic marks such as DNA methylation, and information the cell carries outside its genes.

Ready

Signaling pathways

How the cell senses and responds: sensor → messenger → target.

Ready

Gene regulatory network

Which regulators switch which genes, with the evidence for each link.

Ready

Signaling inside machines

How a machine’s parts pass signals to each other, starting with the ribosome.

Ready

Assembly pathways

How proteins and complexes are folded, inserted, loaded with metals and cofactors, and put together.
