KEGG2Net generates a network involving only the genes represented on a KEGG pathway with all of the direct and indirect gene-gene interactions deduced from the pathway. KEGG2Net offers four different methods to remove cycles from the resulting gene interaction networks to construct directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Click the link below to download the gene interation networks and DAGs for your organism of interest.
