Database Overview
ShEnrich is a comprehensive bioinformatics resource that serves as a centralized repository for querying and analyzing metabolic pathways associated with nutrient metabolism in penaeid shrimp species. This database has been specifically designed to support aquaculture research and metabolic engineering applications.
Metabolic Pathway Coverage
Our database provides extensively curated pathways for major metabolic processes essential to shrimp physiology, including carbohydrate metabolism (glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway), lipid metabolism (fatty acid synthesis, β-oxidation, sterol biosynthesis), essential amino acid metabolism, and vitamin biosynthesis pathways.
Research Applications
ShEnrich enables researchers to perform comprehensive pathway enrichment analysis, identify metabolic bottlenecks affecting growth efficiency, analyze nutrient utilization patterns across different shrimp species, and develop optimized feeding strategies for sustainable aquaculture.
