keggLink: Find related entries by using database cross-references.

In Bioconductor/KEGGREST: Client-side REST access to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)

Find related entries by using database cross-references.

Description

Find related entries by using database cross-references.

Usage

keggLink(target, source)

Arguments

target	Either the name of a single KEGG database (list available via listDatabases(), a "T number" genome identifier, or a KEGG organism code (lists of both available via keggList("organism")).
source	The same as target, but may also be one or more KEGG identifiers.

Details

Many of the old KEGGSOAP functions whose names started with 'get', such as get.pathways.by.genes and get.pathways.by.reactions, are replaced by using keggLink (see examples).

Value

A named character vector.

Examples

res <- keggLink("pathway", "hsa") ## KEGG pathways linked from each of
          ## the human genes equivalent to 'get.genes.by.pathway' in KEGGSOAP
length(res)
head(res)
res <- keggLink("hsa", "pathway") ## human genes linked from each of the
          ## KEGG pathways equivalent to 'get.pathways.by.genes' in KEGGSOAP
keggLink("pathway", c("hsa:10458", "ece:Z5100")) ## KEGG pathways
          ## linked from a human gene and an E. coli O157 gene
res <- keggLink("hsa:126") ## LinkDB search shows all KEGG
          ## resources related to hsa:126
head(res)
