Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

textDSCAM and DSCAML1 proteins are involved in homophilic intercellular interactions and these recognition events may play a role in neural connectivity. Recent studies in mouse demonstrate that DSCAM is selectively expressed in subclasses of cells and suggest that it uses homophilic repulsion to simultaneously promote both self avoidance (an essential developmental mechanism that allows axonal and dendrite processes to uniformly cover their synaptic fields) and tiling (ensures that the receptive fields of neurons from the same class do not overlap with one another) (Fuerst et al. 2008).
