Hi Abdul,
Good that you mention KEGG and I should probably have mentioned the
KEGG.db package for step 1 of the proposed workflow. Even though I've
no direct experience with it. Unfortunately, my understanding is that
it's about to be deprecated (because of licensing issues). I heard
there are some alternatives though. Hopefully more knowledgeable people
will chime in with helpful suggestions.
Cheers,
H.
