Hi,
I am exploring the package KEGG REST.
I would like to retrieve the genes that belong to a specific pathway, e.g. all human genes that are in the Arachidonic Acid Metabolism pathway (= map00590). For now the topology of the pathway is not of relevance to me.
I have checked the KEGG REST vignette but could not find how to do this, so if this is possible a pointer would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Guido

As a side node (for the maintainer): I noticed that the API has recently been updated (18 January 2013); a.o. KGML files can now be retrieved and also conversion options from/to KEGG IDs has been expanded.
