[BioC] KEGGSOAP: problem with get.pathways.by.genes()

[Julien Meunier]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to convert entrez id (mouse) to KEGG pathway
using the keggsoap package, and having a hard time.


get.genes.by.pathway(c("path:mmu04060"))

would give me the following result:

[1] "mmu:100044793" "mmu:100047704" "mmu:110542"    "mmu:11477" 
"mmu:11479" ...



However, the following

get.pathways.by.genes(c("mmu:11479"))

returns character(0)


I also tested get.pathways.by.genes with the IL2 gene (entrez id 16183)
involved in several pathways, calling the function with "16183",
"mmu:16183" and other variations with the same result.

The vignette mentioned they might be "problem on the server side" with
get.pathways.by.genes(), and I googled without succes.


Any ideas to get this function to work ?


Thank you for your time,
Julien


PS: I known I can use KEGG.db or org.Mm.eg.db, or other locale packages
but for some reason I would rather use an online query.
