Can any softwares or tools convert .KGML files(XML edited) to SVG ones?
In the KEGG website, I've downloaded a KGML file which contains all informations of a pathway. But I want to get the vector graphic of the pathway such as SVG file.

Something like that is likely coming to Biopython, probably in the next release:
Leighton's blog posts about this work:
This using Python to parse the KGML XML files, which can then be rendered using the manual layout positions KEGG provide. The examples produce PDF, but underneath this uses the ReportLab library for the graphics which supports vector output including PDF and SVG (and also bitmap output like PNG) so using this for SVG output should in principle be possible.
You can also overlay this information on top of the template PNG images KEGG provide to make annotated variations, for example to emphasise a particular pathway. -
Thank you! I‘ll pay attention to it.Originally posted by maubp View PostSomething like that is likely coming to Biopython, probably in the next release:

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
