N2 - Querying biochemical networks in flexible ways over the web is important to facilitate ongoing biological research. In this paper, we present a querying interface for biological networks, more specifically, metabolic networks. The interface allows for the specification of a large class of containment, path, and neighborhood queries with ease from a web browser. The query specification process is user-friendly, employs hierarchically arranged relationships among biological entities, and uses autocomplete features. The interface is provided as part of PathCase, a system to store, query, visualize and analyze metabolic pathways at different levels of detail.
