P2CS

Two-component systems, rebuilt for genome-scale exploration.

P2CS-Web revisits the historical P2CS resource to make two-component system exploration easier to read, filter, and share across genomes, lineages, and protein records.

The current application already connects real SQLite datasets, preserves stable biological identifiers, and exposes genome-first and gene-first entry points that prepare the transition toward P2CS_2026.

Indexed genomes

Genome-level entries already exposed through browse genomes

392 075

A direct entry point to taxonomic browsing, counts, and genome detail pages.

Listed proteins

Gene records currently available through the versioned API

25 663 653

Stable identifiers remain central so genome and gene pages stay cross-linkable.

Histidine kinases

Protein records filtered live from the legacy genes table

12 517 906

Sensor-side components can already be explored from gene and genome views.

Clusters

2 931 715

Criteria: 100% identity, 80% coverage.

Response regulators

Companion class surfaced for downstream decision workflows

12 774 395

These counts are computed from the same API used by the detailed gene lists.

Clusters

2 479 169

Criteria: 100% identity, 80% coverage.

Family Distributions

RR and HK families at a glance

Choose which classes to display and switch between several Plotly chart types. Click a family to open a filtered gene list. Pie charts stay the default view.

Loading family distributions

Real RR and HK distributions are loading in the background

The overview is already available. Charts will appear as soon as the aggregated family counts finish loading.

What P2CS-Web is for

A modern scientific entry point built from the public utility of the legacy site

P2CS-Web keeps the historical strengths of P2CS: browsing by genomes and lineages, navigating from protein classes to detailed records, and keeping identifiers stable enough for scientific reuse.

  • Genome-centric exploration for species, taxonomic paths, and TCS counts.
  • Gene-centric inspection for annotations, domains, and cross-links back to the source genome.
  • Preparation for richer comparison, search, and P2CS_2026 integration.

How to start exploring

Begin broad, then refine toward the biological object you need

  • Start with `browse genomes` to scan lineages and choose a genome of interest.
  • Switch between the precomputed Krona panorama and the live taxonomy wheel when selecting genomes.
  • Open genome detail pages to inspect counts and jump into matching proteins.
  • Use gene detail pages to verify annotations and follow related records.

Browse by lineage

Start from genomes, species names, and taxonomic paths

Use the shared browse page to move from a broad panorama to exact lineage filters, then open individual genome records.

Inspect a genome

Move from taxonomic context to TCS composition

Genome pages summarize lineage, protein-class counts, and gene-level drill-down from the same stable genome identifiers.

Inspect a protein

Jump directly to a representative gene record

Gene detail pages preserve biological identifiers while exposing annotations, domains, related genes, and links back to the parent genome.
