[BioC] Pathview with minor species

[Luo Weijun]

Someone asked a similar question on using pathview or gage with honey bee. Here is the solution:
http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35472#6

Like honey bee, B. subtilis (bsu) is not a major species with Bioconductor gene annotation package as those listed in data(bods) under pathview package. similarly you need to map Locus_tags to Entrez gene ID manually. Again, you can download the gene_info data file (for all bacteria) from NCBI ftp site:
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/GENE_INFO/Archaea_Bacteria/Bacteria.gene_info.gz
Column 2-6 should be (Entrez) GeneID, Symbol, LocusTag, Synonyms, dbXrefs. Then follow the route described in the honey bee case.

HTHs.

 Dear Mr Luo,
 
 In our course we got B. subtilis (bsu) microarray data
 and I want to visualize some expression changes with
 Pathview. But I have a problem. We got Locus_tags like
 BSU00010 and no gene IDs and I don't know whether Pathview
 can use it or not. I really don't understand the part about
 it in the vignette. So I thought of converting them to
 UniProt IDs. But first I wanted to do a test run. So I
 searched for the UniProt IDs of 3 genes of the glycolysis
 from B. subtilis and put them into a data.frame with
 fictional data (dummy).
 
 library(pathview)
 dummy<-data.frame(name=c("P18159","P80860","P13243"),ratio=c(1,0,-1),row.names="name")
 dummy<-as.matrix(dummy)
 
 pv.out <- pathview(gene.data = dummy[, "ratio"],
 pathway.id = "00010",species = "bsu", out.suffix = "dummy",
 kegg.native=T, gene.idtype="UNIPROT")
 
 
 When I tried it this way, an error occured: No proper gene
[[elided Yahoo spam]]
 Afterwards I tested it with 3 genes from human and hsa as
 species and than it worked fine. Nothing I tried to solve
 the problem, worked. I have the latest version of
 Bioconductor and Pathview installed. Does Pathview not work
 with Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis 168 (=bsu) even
 though it's a KEGG organism? Or what am I doing wrong?
 
 I look forward to hearing from you.
 
 Sincerely yours,
 David
