N2 - Metabolic pathways provide key information to achieve a better understanding of life and all its processes; this is useful information for the improvement of medicine, agronomy, pharmacy and other similar areas. The main analysis tool used to study these pathways is based on the idea of pathway comparison, using graph data structures. Graph comparison has been defined as a computationally complex task. We propose two different approaches which simplify the problem of comparing pathways represented as graphs. The first algorithm consists in the transformation of a two-dimensional graph structure to a onedimensional structure, and thus aligning the corresponding data using a reduced 1D structure. The second algorithm consists in performing a pair analysis between graphs and thus eliminating all similarities, finally, showing these differences to the user. Our results show evidence of a quick, simple and effective way to resolve the described problem.
