# Pathway analysis
Identify functional differences by projecting annotations onto biochemical pathway maps. Compare single genomes or groups, and click on shapes to find the underlying annotations and genes.
**To start:** search for a **pathway map** (e.g., “citrate cycle”), pick it, then select **one or more genomes** (or groups) and click **Submit**. (Tip: use [**magic strings**](https://docs.abrinca.com/arx/guides/magic-strings/) to select genomes.)
