NAME

Bio::KEGG::API - Perl interface to KEGG API.

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::KEGG::API;

my $api = Bio::KEGG::API->new();
say $api->database_info(database => 'hsa');

...

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple Perl interface to KEGG API system, please verify which databases are available before using the API.

METHODS

Database information

Displays the current statistics of a given database

options: database, oganism.

<database> = pathway | brite | module | ko | genome | <org> | compound | glycan | reaction | rpair | rclass | enzyme | disease | drug | dgroup | environ | genomes | genes | ligand | kegg

<org> = KEGG organism code or T number

Examples:

my @result = $api->database_info(database => 'kegg');
my @result = $api->database_info(database => 'pathway');
my @result = $api->database_info(database => 'hsa');

Entry list

Returns a list of entry identifiers and associated definition for a given database or a given set of database entries

options: database, oganism.

<database> = pathway | brite | module | ko | genome | <org> | compound | glycan | reaction | rpair | rclass | enzyme | disease | drug | dgroup | environ | organism

<org> = KEGG organism code or T number

Examples:

my @result = $api->entry_list(database => 'pathway');
my @result = $api->entry_list(database => 'pathway', organism => 'hsa');
my @result = $api->entry_list(organism => 'hsa');

Finds entries with matching query keywords or other query data in a given database.

options: database, oganism, query.

<database> = pathway | module | ko | genome | <org> | compound | glycan | reaction | rpair | rclass | enzyme | disease | drug | dgroup | environ | genes | ligand

<org> = KEGG organism code or T number

Example:

my @result = $api->data_search(database => 'genes', query => 'kinase');
my @result = $api->data_search(database => 'reaction', query => 'kinase');
my @result = $api->data_search(database => 'pathway', organism => 'hsa', query => 'kinase');

ID Convertion

Convert KEGG identifiers to/from outside identifiers.

options: target, source.

For gene identifiers: <kegg_db> = <org> <org> = KEGG organism code or T number <outside_db> = ncbi-gi | ncbi-geneid | uniprot

For chemical substance identifiers: <kegg_db> = drug | compound | glycan <outside_db> = pubchem | chebi

Examples:

my @result = $api->id_convertion(target => 'eco', source => 'ncbi-geneid');
my @result = $api->id_convertion(target => 'ncbi-geneid', source => 'eco');

Linked Entries

Find related entries by using database cross-references.

options: target, source.

<target_db> = <database> <source_db> = <database>

<database> = pathway | brite | module | ko | genome | <org> | compound | glycan | reaction | rpair | rclass | enzyme | disease | drug | dgroup | environ

Examples:

my @result = $api->linked_entries(target => 'pathway', source => 'hsa');
my @result = $api->linked_entries(target => 'genes', source => 'K00500');
