| Content | AFAT | AlgaePath |
|---|---|---|
| Species | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii |
| Chlorella NC64A | Neodesmus sp. UTEX 2219-4 | |
| Search interface | Identifiers ID and keyword | Gene symbol, Gene ID from various database, keyword, DNA/protein sequences |
| Pathways information of each transcript | Yes, only pathway map (out link to KEGG) | Yes, combine pathway map with transcript abundance profiles under various conditions |
| Gene group analysis (Pathway enrichment) | Yes, only mark genes in a pathway map (out link to KEGG) | Yes, not only mark genes in a pathway map but with transcript abundance profiles under various conditions |
