how to convert kegg ids to gene names

l have a list of genes from rna seq data analysis and I performed gene ontology analysis on them using KOBAS (KOBAS.cbi.pku.edu.cn).

the result contains; term of the pathway, kegg IDs... but no gene name

kegg ids look like this: bna03010 (the organism is brassica napus)

I tried those ids on EnsemblPlants but it gives no output

I also searched these ids on google but I'm at loss of finding the gene names

can anyone help me please?

bna03010 is a pathway identifier, not a gene: https://www.kegg.jp/entry/pathway+bna03010 To get pathway name from pathway IDs you can use KEGG REST API (for example via KEGGREST R package): https://rest.kegg.jp/list/pathway has an entry path:map03010 Ribosome (the pathways are not organism specific).

The list of names for KEGG genes can be also found with the REST API: https://rest.kegg.jp/list/bna
