    Please help me with KEGG annotation

    Hi there,

    This is my frist post here, hope to get your help and experience.

    I have done a de novo transcriptome assembly of Illumina PE reads, I then used the KAAS server at http://www.genome.jp/kaas-bin/kaas_main for KEGG annotation of my assembly. It assigned the KO numbers to the related contigs and showed the pathway, where the EC number of enzymes involved in the various reactions illustrated and the existing ortholog (contigs) colored in green, however, there is no information which contigs involved in the given pathway. I would like to know how I can view these genes (contigs) in the various steps of a given pathway. For a better explanation of my issue, I attached the TCA pathway generated by KEGG as an example, please take a look at it. As you better know me, those genes (from my gene list) that are available in the pathway, colored in the green box. I want to know which gene(s) has corresponded to each green box.
    I also contacted with the KEGG support for this question and they told me "We provide xml files if you are good at programming. You may be able to find the coordinates of boxes on a map. http://www.kegg.jp/kegg/xml/". Unfortunately, I could not find a solution there as I'm a beginner in this field. I would be highly appreciated for hearing any help and suggestion from you in this regard.

    Actually, they are right. All the informations you are looking for are in the xml files. You can parse them (using R for example) to have the information you are looking for in a table...

      Thank you Sylvainl, Could you please advise me to use R or any tool to get the information, actually which gene(s) has corresponded to each green box in the pathway? It will be great if there is any tutorial or documentation for this task as I'm really new in this field.

        You can parse with the XML package (function xmlParse) and then work with list (xmlToList)...

          Thank you very much, however, I need more help, something like a step-by-step guide as I'm totally blind here.

              From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
              by SEQadmin2


              Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


              The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

              Single-Cell Sequencing at an Inflection Point: Early Impacts of New Platforms and Emerging Trends
              by SEQadmin2


              With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.


              Introduction

              Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...

              Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
              by SEQadmin2

              Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


              Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
