[Maryam Sophea]

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if there is any online tools to determine the KO numbers of the genes? For example, I want to know the list of KO numbers of my Acid and bile salts genes. Thank you in advanced.

Look into KEGG by prior selection of your organism

If you have the protein sequences and cann't find the KO codes, look for BlastKoala which is a tool included into KEGG to annotate them

Hello, @Antonio R.Franco...How about KOFAMkoala? Does the tool can help in determining KO numbers? And is the pathway that linked in the KOFAMKOALA help in determine KO numbers? Because now I have some list of genes that related to probiotic bacteria but then I dont have KO numbers in order to annotate them...For example, i do not have KO numbers for acid and bile salt protein..Thank youin advance.
