SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires kegg_api.py, and 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 academic research.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pathway Analysis: Retrieve detailed information and maps for biological pathways.
  • Gene/Compound Mapping: Find pathways associated with specific genes or compounds.
  • ID Conversion: Convert between KEGG identifiers and external database IDs (e.g., UniProt, NCBI Gene).
  • Drug Interactions: Check for drug-drug interactions.
  • Use Case: A researcher needs to find all human pathways associated with the gene TP53 and then retrieve the pathway map for visualization.

Quick Start

Use the kegg-database skill to find all pathways linked to the human gene hsa:7157.
