The next installment of *ome projects hits the deck as an effort to map regulatory protein interactions (read: transcription factors) in the mouse, "as this is the only mammalian system tractable for comprehensive molecular genetic studies."
[Update] While we're at it, have a look at the physiome project, too. It's wandering a little, and I suspect the effort of implementing common standards and complex model descriptions has overwhelmed people, who would much rather go back to doing physiology. Very much what happened in genomics, until heavy artillery was brought out to deal with these issues.

Another ome
I came across the reactome project recently too.
Kegg
Isn't this what KEGG does?
a bit like kegg
Looks a bit like KEGG, but geared towards human and related genomes. I'm a big fan of KEGG, which has APIs for all the major OpenBio* projects and a related package called PRIAM, whcih will construct KEGG maps for any set of sequences.
I have a problem with these kinds of hierarchical databases, namely navigation to something useful. I spent quite some time clicking through Reactome without discovering anything. I wonder if this is an inherent problem with complex networks of data? In a sense, you want to display everything, but not all at once, so you end up with so many levels that you lose the big picture. Am I making sense?
