KEGG Brite (BR) hierarchy example does not resolve

[cmungall]

https://bioregistry.io/registry/kegg.brite

Example

kegg.brite:ko00071

goes to https://www.genome.jp/kegg-bin/get_htext?-p+/kegg/brite/br+brko00071

"Not found"

[cmungall]

In this case, ko00071 is part of BRITE and represents the grouping "Fatty acid degradation"

There are a variety of ways to see this in different contexts, e.g. this URL

https://www.genome.jp/brite/htext=ko00001.keg&query=ko00071

shows this hierarchy

• 09100 Metabolism
  • 09101 Carbohydrate metabolism
  • 09102 Energy metabolism
  • 09103 Lipid metabolism
    • 00061 Fatty acid biosynthesis [PATH:ko00061]
    • 00062 Fatty acid elongation [PATH:ko00062]
    • 00071 Fatty acid degradation [PATH:ko00071]
      - K00626 ACAT, atoB; acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase [EC:2.3.1.9]

Where you can see the BRITE ko in a pathway context:

https://www.genome.jp/pathway/ko00071

However, I am not sure there is a consistent way to resolve to a BRITE ID that is not in some other context

It looks like there are two issues compounded here:

• The resolver URL is not quite right: if we update it to https://www.genome.jp/brite/$1 it can resolve various IDs that I found
• The example ID might have been removed and should probably be replaced by one that works, e.g., ko03041

@cmungall for context, I wrote my comment before your second comment showed up.

I admit I am confused by the situation with BRITE and KEGG identifiers in general. Would updating to the URL pattern to https://www.genome.jp/brite/$1 and changing the example ID to something that is definitely in scope for BRITE, e.g., br08614 or ko03041 (which both resolve correctly at https://www.genome.jp/brite/$1) make sense?

Thanks, I don't have the answers yet....!
