Skip to contents

This function can be used to retrieve a list of valid biological pathways present in KEGG, Reactome and WikiPathways.

Usage

listPathways(organism, database)

Arguments

organism

The name of the organism under consideration. The different databases have different supported organisms. To see the list of supported organisms for a given database, use the supportedOrganisms() function

database

The name of the database to use. It must be one of: KEGG, Reactome, and WikiPathways

Value

A character vector containing the pathway names present in the specified database.

Note

This function uses the graphite package to retrieve biological pathways from KEGG, Reactome and WikiPathways.
