    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.

              Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
              by SEQadmin2



              Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

              Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
              by SEQadmin2



              Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

              There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

              Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
              by GATTACAT
              Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
