SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides direct access to the KEGG database, enabling users to query biological pathways, gene-pathway mappings, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, and perform ID conversions for bioinformatics research.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pathway Analysis: Explore metabolic, genetic, cellular, and disease pathways.
  • Gene/Compound Mapping: Link genes to pathways, compounds to reactions, and drugs to interactions.
  • ID Conversion: Seamlessly convert between KEGG IDs and external database identifiers (e.g., UniProt, NCBI Gene).
  • Use Case: A researcher wants to find all human genes associated with the 'Glycolysis' pathway and then retrieve their protein sequences for further analysis.

Quick Start

Use the db-kegg skill to find all human pathways linked to the gene TP53.
