KEGG database

[patouch74]

Hi,

I'm looking for KEGG database but I've read this is not free anymore.
DO you know other alternative KEGG database ? I plan to use it with the tool MEGAN or HumanN

Thanks

Alternatives:
Reactome
NCI Pathway Interaction Database
Biocarta
There are some commercial providers, too.

My reading of KEGG licensing says if you can http screen scrape the data, it's legal. Also if you got an old copy it's legal. KEGG was very sneaky in promoting an open database then changing their minds. I'm wary of their wares.

Not sure if crack copyright lawyers would agree, but that's my amateur legal opinion.
