URLs for making DBGET/KEGG queries
Retrieve a single entry:
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?dbname+identifier
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?dbname:identifier
dbname = Database name or organism name
identifier = Entry name (accession number) or gene name
Retrieve multiple entries:
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?dbname+identifier1+identifier2+...
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?dbname1:identifier1+dbname2:identifier2+...
The first form is applicable only to multiple entries from a single database.
Retrieve sequence entries in FASTA format:
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?-f+dbname+identifier1+identifier2+...
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?-f+dbname1:identifier1+dbname2:identifier2+...
When the entry contains multiple sequences, specify as follows:
-f+-n+1 first sequence in FASTA format
-f+-n+2 second sequence in FASTA format
-f+-n+a amino acid sequence in FASTA format (GENES database only)
-f+-n+n nucleotide sequence in FASTA format (GENES database only)
The list of options may be viewed by the -h option:
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bget?-h
Display title description of entries
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_btit?dbname+identifier1+identifier2+...
https://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_btit?dbname1:identifier1+dbname2:identifier2+...
Mark an object in the KEGG pathway
https://www.genome.jp/kegg-bin/show_pathway?mapno+dbname:identifier
mapno = pathway entry accession number, such as map00010 and hsa00010
dbname:identifier = kegg identifier such as ec:5.3.1.1
More advanced URLs are available at the KEGG Web Links page.
