Hey guys.

I'm exploring some data with CytoKEGG and find it really nice. However, I do not have organismal data, I have metagenomic data. My question therefore would be: Is there any way, to get the genereal reference Pathways from KEGG as a template? And not the Pathway from an organism?
For example: I want to visualize all the nitrogen metabolism-related genes from my dataset. I already played around with Bacillus reference pathway, and a Nitrosomonas pathway. This is nice and give me results, however, these organisms contain different subsets of genes involved in nitrogen metabolism. Therefore, I can only visualize a subset of my data.

Using the Repository, I can only import the pathways for individual organisms. So is there a chance to get the general pathways here?
This would be really helpful.

Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely, Kristin

Hi.

I'm not sure about CytoKEGG, but you can download reference pathways
in KGML and import it with KEGGScape App.

For example, this:

http://www.genome.jp/kegg-bin/show_pathway?org_name=ec&mapno=00910&mapscale=&show_description=hide

Will be visualized like the attached picture if you use it. You may
need to do some ID mapping, but it depends on your data files.

Hey Kei,

this is EXTREMELY helpful, I was not aware of this App.
This is really great and will definitely save some time :) I will try it, may I refer back to you, if I got some questions?

Best, Kristin

Actually, I can only download reference pathways of certain organisms as KGML. Not the GENERAL reference pathway :(
