Description

This function merges two given pathways and appends it to the supplied biopax model. The user has to specify a new name for the pathways and can supply ID, ORGANISM and COMMENT properties for the new pathway. If no ID is supplied, a new unique ID is generated. If no organism property is supplied the organism property of the first pathway is re-used. If ORGANISM is NULL the property is not set. Optionally a comment can be added to the pathway.
