Hi Karen,
you can add an Organism also without GO or KEGG annotations. You will have to provide 2 files:
1. a gene2accession file where you define your gene ids and symbol names (it is important to have a UniqueID#MyID and a SymbolID column to make it work) and
2. an organism properties file where you set your organism's information.
You can copy those 2 files from the Organism_Homo Sapiens folder and create you own organism folder in a similar way. It is important to know that the organism name you chose is case sensitive and it has to be the same all over!
Let's say you chose 'My Custom organism' as name you have to create a folder called:
'Organism_My Custom organism' in the /YourUserHomeFolder/ClueGOConfiguration/v2.5.1/ClueGOSourceFiles (in windows use \ instead of /) folder.
Then create with e.g. Excel or LibreOffice the two files
1. 'My Custom organism.properties' (you can copy this file from the human folder and modify it with your information).
Replace the human information with this: (use # to skip lines)
##### General Settings #############################################################
organism.name = My Custom organism
#set here your right taxonomy id if you know it
and 2. 'My Custom organism.gene2accession_2018.08.25.txt' in Excel
UniqueID#MyGeneID |
SymbolID |
OtherIDs |
1 |
NAT1|AAC1|MNAT|NAT-1|NATI |
AA|BB |
2 |
NAT2|AAC2|NAT-2 |
CC |
3 |
NATP |
DD |
The first ID in SymbolID e.g. NAT1 will be shown on the network. UniqueID#MyGeneID and SymbolID are mandatory! Otherwise it will not work!
If you can not manage to create the files let us know and we will create them for you.
Best
