Hello everyone,

I have one more question to ask. When i use KEGG API, I see that there is no way to retrieve the definition information with given gene id or entry number. Does anyone know how to retrieve that information? For example, For homo sapiens with the enzyme 2.3.3.1, i need to retrieve the information as citrate synthase.. How do i get that?

Nice find Pierre. Probably the only open service to access KEGG mappings. Entire KEGG ftp/flat-files are now under a pay wall http://www.kegg.jp/kegg/download/.
