    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.

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

              Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

              New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
              by SEQadmin2


              Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

              We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
