Each KEGG COMPOUND entry is identified by the ID number consisting of the letter "C" and the five digit numerals (such as C00047 for L-lysine).
Each KEGG DRUG entry is identified by the ID number consisting of the letter "D" and the five digit numerals (such as D08163 for meclozine, an H1-receptor antagonist).
Each KNApSAcK entry is identified by ID consisting of the letter "C" and the eight digit numerals (C00036189 for pectinolide A, a secondary metabolite taken from plant Hyptis pectinata).
Their subject, Rüdiger Gamm, can calculate the fifth root of a ten-digit numeral within seconds, and as quickly raise a two-digit number to its ninth power.
Deciphering 50,000 five-digit numeral groups and feeding punch cards into a hulking, primitive I.B.M. machine, they fueled themselves on patriotism, coffee and Benzedrine pills, these last dispensed from a bucket lying next to a cache of highly classified intercepts.
Through several intensive processing steps, a huge number of isolated digits, numeral strings, touching digits, dates, words, names, alphabetical letters, free texts, arithmetic, and especial symbols from all these forms were extracted and organized as a standard database.
All proteins presented in the map were given a 12-digit numeral ID whereby the first 6 digits represent the gene ID as available on the Phytozome database and the rest is the transcript ID of the corresponding genes.
On the other hand, multi-digit numerals were processed in a more serial manner, similar to dot patterns (in contrast to the assumption of holistic processing: [ 61]).
Chemical compounds are given IDs consisting of the letter 'C' and the following five-digit numerals, and the structures are described as graphs where nodes and edges represent atoms and bonds, respectively.
To maximize readability and reduce errors, we use the largest size codes available (Version 1-H), capable of encoding test identifiers of up to 17-digit numerals under a high error code correction (ECC) capability.
As of January 2014, there are 34 manually curated reaction modules that are given IDs consisting of the letters 'RM' and the following three-digit numerals (such as RM001; see http://www.genome.jp/kegg/reaction/rmodule.html) and up to 3016 conserved reaction patterns.
