KEGG Primer: An Introduction to Pathway Analysis Using KEGG

KEGG, which stands for Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, has become a major resource for pathway analysis and contains a wealth of data associated with pathways, genes, genomes, chemical compounds and reaction information, in addition to links to outside resources such as PubMed (Kanehisa et al., 2006). This primer will focus on the PATHWAY data resource in KEGG. We will describe how to browse and search the pathways that are currently available. We also discuss the KEGG Automatic Annotation Server (KAAS) service, which overlays genes onto pathways. Additionally, we introduce the KegArray tool for exploring the pathways for expressed genes based on microarray data.
