description:	Pathway Ontology (PW) provides a vocabulary and grammar about biological pathways. Ontology nodes are: classic metabolic, regulatory, signaling, drug and disease pathways. Literature review and search of existing pathway databases was used to choose terms and their position within the tree. Mapping of pathways in other databases to terms in PW as synonyms further increased the content of the ontology. Metabolic, regulatory or signaling pathway terms have associated terms for the altered version of the pathway and the level at which the alteration(s) may occur. Proteins with mutations known to affect a particular pathway can be annotated to the normal and altered version(s) of the pathway and to a disease pathway, if known. AFDSI imports PW.
