Mappings between Entrez Gene identifiers and KEGG pathway identifiers

Description

KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) maintains pathway data for various organisms. org.Hs.egPATH maps entrez gene identifiers to the identifiers used by KEGG for pathways

Details

Each KEGG pathway has a name and identifier. Pathway name for a given pathway identifier can be obtained using the KEGG data package that can either be built using AnnBuilder or downloaded from Bioconductor http://www.bioconductor.org.

Graphic presentations of pathways are searchable at url http://www.genome.ad.jp/kegg/pathway.html by using pathway identifiers as keys.

Mappings were based on data provided by: KEGG GENOME ftp://ftp.genome.jp/pub/kegg/genomes With a date stamp from the source of: 2011-Mar15

Examples

## select() interface:
## Objects in this package can be accessed using the select() interface
## from the AnnotationDbi package. See ?select for details.

## Bimap interface:
x <- org.Hs.egPATH
# Get the entrez gene identifiers that are mapped to a KEGG pathway ID
mapped_genes <- mappedkeys(x)
# Convert to a list
xx <- as.list(x[mapped_genes])
if(length(xx) > 0) {
  # Get the PATH for the first five genes
  xx[1:5]
  # Get the first one
  xx[[1]]
}

# For the reverse map:
# Convert the object to a list
xx <- as.list(org.Hs.egPATH2EG)
# Remove pathway identifiers that do not map to any entrez gene id
xx <- xx[!is.na(xx)]
if(length(xx) > 0){
    # The entrez gene identifiers for the first two elements of XX
    xx[1:2]
    # Get the first one
    xx[[1]]
}
