- A Comprehensive map of TB Metabolic network drafted (CSIR-SBI Collaboration) (2010/04/14)
SBI team supported Indian OSDD Project in creating a large-scale comprehensive map of metabolic network of TB. During the recent Connect to Decode conference held in New Delhi, a team of over 150 Indian students and researchers and SBI team (Dr. Samik Ghosh and Ms. Yukiko Matsuoka) joined forces to create the first comprehensive map of TB metabolic network using CellDesigner. The map will be up-loaded to Payao community curation system for further annotations.
Dr. Samir Brahmachari (CSIR, Director General) and Dr. Hiroaki Kitano (SBI, President) shake hands to celebrate completion of the draft map. (from left: Dr. Anshu Bhardwaj, Dr. Samir Bramachari, Dr. Hiroaki Kitano, Dr. samik Ghosh).

- First version of an SBGN language released (2008/08/04)
The first specification for Process Diagrams of the Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN) is being announced today. The goal of SBGN is to standardise the graphical representation of essential biochemical and cellular processes. Standardising graphical notations for describing biological interactions is an important step towards the efficient communication of biological knowledge between different communities. More information on SBGN and SBGN Process Diagram Level 1 can be found here (http://www.sbgn.org/)...
