<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Motivation: Signaling pathways control a large variety of cellular processes. However, currently, even within the same database signaling pathways are often curated at different levels of detail. This makes comparative and cross-talk analyses difficult.</jats:p> <jats:p>Results: We present SignaLink, a database containing eight major signaling pathways from Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster and humans. Based on 170 review and ∼800 research articles, we have compiled pathways with semi-automatic searches and uniform, well-documented curation rules. We found that in humans any two of the eight pathways can cross-talk. We quantified the possible tissue- and cancer-specific activity of cross-talks and found pathway-specific expression profiles. In addition, we identified 327 proteins relevant for drug target discovery.</jats:p> <jats:p>Conclusions: We provide a novel resource for comparative and cross-talk analyses of signaling pathways. The identified multi-pathway and tissue-specific cross-talks contribute to the understanding of the signaling complexity in health and disease, and underscore its importance in network-based drug target selection.</jats:p> <jats:p>Availability:  http://SignaLink.org</jats:p> <jats:p>Contact:  csermely@eok.sote.hu</jats:p> <jats:p>Supplementary information:  Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.</jats:p>
