    KEGG database questions

    Hello, I have some basic questions about KEGG database. As far as I know, they have three types of classification: KO functions, KEGG Pathway Categories (KO), KEGG Pathways (KO, KEGG Orthology). They also have KEGG Pathway Categories (EC), KEGG Pathways (EC).

    1> I want to the hierarchical levels. I know KO functions is lowest level. KEGG pathway and pathway categories. Which is the intermediate level. and which is highest level?

    2>Where can I find the list of KEGG Pathways (KO) and KEGG Pathways Categories (KO). They should have a list something like cabon fixation pathways, nitrogen list etc.

    3> For the EC (KEGG Pathway Categories (EC), KEGG Pathways (EC).), I think it means something about enzyme. I was wondering what is the relationship between EC and KO. Does EC database also created and maintained by Kyoto University? Why it doesn't have the level like KO functions? Whey they create two EC and KO. Weird.

    4> Also, where can I see the the list of KEGG Pathways (EC) and KEGG Pathways Categories (EC).

    Thanks.

    Have you simply gone to http://www.genome.jp/kegg/ and looked at the information there?

      Well, they are not straight-forward. Still, there is no explanation of KEGG categories.

        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
