What is KO in KEGG?

What is KO in KEGG?

The KO (KEGG Orthology) database is a database of molecular functions represented in terms of functional orthologs. The addendum category of the GENES database allows functionally characterized individual protein sequences to be included in KEGG.

What is a KEGG pathway analysis?

KEGG PATHWAY is a collection of manually drawn pathway maps representing our knowledge of the molecular interaction, reaction and relation networks for: 1. Metabolism. Global/overview Carbohydrate Energy Lipid Nucleotide Amino acid Other amino Glycan.

How much is a KEGG?

Academic subscriptions will cost $2,000 for individual users and $5,000 for organizations per year. The KEGG website will continue to be freely available, Kanehisa told BioInform.

How can I get a list of KEGG pathways?

@Jochen, this is what the gage manual say “another advantage of using kegg.gsets is that you get the most updated pathway gene set data as it is retrieved from KEGG in real time…” Page 4 in https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/gage/inst/doc/gage.pdf.

What are the different types of genes in KEGG?

“genes” is a composite database consisting of KEGG organisms with three- or four-letter codes, and viruses (vg, vp) and addendum (ag) categories (see KEGG GENES ). “pathway”, “brite” and “module” consist of manually created reference datasets and computationally generated organism-specific datasets (see KEGG Pathway Maps ).

How is a KEGG object identified in a database?

Except for “genes”, “enzyme” and “variant”, each database entry is identified by the KEGG identifier consisting of a database-dependent prefix followed by a five-digit number (see KEGG Objects for more details), such as K number, C number and D numbers as identifiers of “ko”, “compound” and “drug” databases, respectively.

How to convert an accession number to a KEGG identifier?

This operation can be used to convert entry identifiers (accession numbers) of outside databases to KEGG identifiers, and vice versa. The first form allows database to database mapping, while the second form allows conversion of a selected number of entries. The database name “genes” may be used only in the second form.
