To the Editor: Pathway enrichment analysis is a common technique for interpreting gene lists derived from high-throughput experiments1. Its success depends on the quality of gene annotations. We analyzed the evolution of pathway knowledge and annotations over the past seven years and found that the use of outdated resources has strongly… Download references
