Each pathway map is identified by the combination of 2-4 letter prefix code and 5 digit number (see
KEGG Identifier). The prefix has the following meaning:
- map
- manually drawn reference pathway
- ko
- reference pathway highlighting KOs
- ec
- reference metabolic pathway highlighting EC numbers
- rn
- reference metabolic pathway highlighting reactions
- <org>
- organism-specific pathway generated by converting KOs to geneIDs
- vg
- viruses pathway generated by converting KOs to geneIDs
- vx
- viruses extended pathway generated by including synteny analysis data
and the numbers starting with the following:
- 011
- global map (lines linked to KOs)
- 012
- overview map (lines linked to KOs)
- 013
- higher (multi-organism) level overview map (lines linked to KOs)
- 010
- chemical structure map (no KO expansion)
- 07
- drug structure map (no KO expansion)
- other
- regular map (boxes linked to KOs)
are used for different types of maps.
Pathway maps are associated with
KEGG modules,
reaction modules,
KEGG networks and
taxonomic groups of constituent modules.
M - module
R - reaction module
N - network
T - module table link for taxonomic groups
