Hi,

I am trying to run a KEGG enrichment analysis on my data. My genes are in SYMBOL, which I converted to ENTREZID, but I need them in "kegg" or "ncbi-geneID" to run enrichKEGG. I looked for packages that would convert these, but they are not updated: MS_convertGene, keggConv, KEGGREST, topGO.

What worked was using the website: https://www.genome.jp/kegg/tool/conv_id.html But I have many gene lists to be converted.....

Is there any tool that I could use in R to convert these IDs in a more handy way?

Thank you. Laia

Please note that ENTREZID == ncbi-geneID, so it seems to me you have KEGG-compatible IDs.

Reading between the lines it seems that your actual question is on how to convert gene symbols to entrezids. If so, please post the code/way you did this now, together with the species you are working with and some example symbols.

Hi Guido,

Thank you for your quick reply. Then if they match, I don't get any mapping. This is my code:

symbol_genes <- names(deLogFC_up)
entrez_genes <- mapIds(org.Hs.eg.db, symbol_genes, 'ENTREZID', 'SYMBOL')
kegg <- enrichKEGG(gene = entrez_genes, organism = 'hsa', keyType="kegg", pvalueCutoff = 0.05)

And this is the error message:

Reading KEGG annotation online:
No gene can be mapped... Expected input gene ID:
return NULL...
Warning messages: 1: In utils::download.file(url, quiet = TRUE, method = method, ...) : the 'wininet' method is deprecated for http:// and https:// URLs 2: In utils::download.file(url, quiet = TRUE, method = method, ...) : the 'wininet' method is deprecated for http:// and https:// URLs

Maybe it is important to mention that my gene list is 424 genes long? Could that be an issue?

Thank you. Laia

Please show the output from symbol_genes[1:10] and entrez_genes[1:10]; thus (for example) the first 10 symbols resp. entrezids.

Oops. Could it be that, because the "entrez_genes" vector is named with the symbol names, that then is not working?

Yep, that is the reason!

This is working (note the use of as.character(), and that in the code below no significance cutoff is applied):

I keep getting the same NULL error..

entrez_genes <- as.character(mapIds(org.Hs.eg.db, symbol_genes, 'ENTREZID', 'SYMBOL'))

'select()' returned 1:1 mapping between keys and columns

entrez_genes[1:10]

[1] "340206" "3598" "4319" NA "648947" NA "3589" "105369893" [9] NA NA

kegg <- enrichKEGG(gene = entrez_genes, organism = 'hsa', keyType="kegg", pvalueCutoff = 1)

--> No gene can be mapped.... --> Expected input gene ID: --> return NULL...

Should I remove all NA? -- Nope, this did not work neither.

Also, how come you get less NA than I do?

No, having NA in your vector will work.

I did notice that I retrieved only a single NA (8th position), but you got 4. My Bioconductor installation is up-to-date (v3.16, note this version id in that of org.Hs.eg.db), so this suggests you Bioconductor/package installation is not. Please check, and update if needed.

Wow thanks.

tools:::.BioC_version_associated_with_R_version()

[1] '3.16'

packageVersion("clusterProfiler")

[1] '4.4.4'

packageVersion("org.Hs.eg.db")

My clusterProfiler and org.Hs packages are the ones outdated, compared to yours. But when I run "check for package updates" it says it is up to date.... I'll update them and try again. Thanks!

Do: BiocManager::install(version = "3.16").

The packages are (apparently) up-to-date within Bioconductor version 3.15...

I managed installing the 3.16 version of BiocManager. R said there were 91 packages to be updated, so I did. However, some warning messages appeared. One example:

package ‘GOSemSim’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

Warning: cannot remove prior installation of package ‘GOSemSim’

Warning: restored ‘GOSemSim’

Now, if I ask what version I have for the two packages (cluster and org), they are the same as yours. But I fail to call their libraries. I get this error:

> library(clusterProfiler)

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘clusterProfiler’ in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]): namespace ‘GOSemSim’ 2.22.0 is already loaded, but >= 2.23.1 is required

Is it ok that the downloaded packages are all going to a Temp folder?

The downloaded source packages are in 'C:\Users\u0138385\AppData\Local\Temp\RtmpSYDDre\downloaded_packages’

Other warning messages:

Warning messages:

This part is the main issue.

‘GOSemSim’ 2.22.0 is already loaded, but >= 2.23.1 is required

You should restart R and then re-install GOSemSim

I could finally solve this and I could get KEGG results :) Thank you so much for your help and quick replies.

ncbi-geneID and ENTREZID are the same thing.
