scToppR provides an easy-to-use API wrapper for the ToppGene web platform, used for gene ontology and functional enrichment research. The package also integrates visualization tools, making it a convenient tool directly connecting ToppGene to code-based workflows in R. The tool can also easily save results into different formats.

PathMED is a collection of tools to facilitate precision medicine studies with omics data (e.g. transcriptomics). Among its funcionalities, genesets scores for individual samples may be calculated with several methods. These scores may be used to train machine learning models and to predict clinical features on new data. For this, several machine learning methods are evaluated in order to select the best method based on internal validation and to tune the hyperparameters. Performance metrics and a ready-to-use model to predict the outcomes for new patients are returned.

Mixture Nested Effects Models (mnem) is an extension of Nested Effects Models and allows for the analysis of single cell perturbation data provided by methods like Perturb-Seq (Dixit et al., 2016) or Crop-Seq (Datlinger et al., 2017). In those experiments each of many cells is perturbed by a knock-down of a specific gene, i.e. several cells are perturbed by a knock-down of gene A, several by a knock-down of gene B, ... and so forth. The observed read-out has to be multi-trait and in the case of the Perturb-/Crop-Seq gene are expression profiles for each cell. mnem uses a mixture model to simultaneously cluster the cell population into k clusters and and infer k networks causally linking the perturbed genes for each cluster. The mixture components are inferred via an expectation maximization algorithm.

epiNEM is an extension of the original Nested Effects Models (NEM). EpiNEM is able to take into account double knockouts and infer more complex network signalling pathways. It is tailored towards large scale double knock-out screens.

bnem combines the use of indirect measurements of Nested Effects Models (package mnem) with the Boolean networks of CellNOptR. Perturbation experiments of signalling nodes in cells are analysed for their effect on the global gene expression profile. Those profiles give evidence for the Boolean regulation of down-stream nodes in the network, e.g., whether two parents activate their child independently (OR-gate) or jointly (AND-gate).

Graph objects from pathway topology derived from KEGG, Panther, PathBank, PharmGKB, Reactome SMPDB and WikiPathways databases.

Create, handle, validate, visualize and convert networks in the Cytoscape exchange (CX) format to standard data types and objects. The package also provides conversion to and from objects of iGraph and graphNEL. The CX format is also used by the NDEx platform, a online commons for biological networks, and the network visualization software Cytocape.

This package aims to import, parse, and analyze KEGG data such as KEGG PATHWAY and KEGG MODULE. The package supports visualizing KEGG information using ggplot2 and ggraph through using the grammar of graphics. The package enables the direct visualization of the results from various omics analysis packages.

Pathview is a tool set for pathway based data integration and visualization. It maps and renders a wide variety of biological data on relevant pathway graphs. All users need is to supply their data and specify the target pathway. Pathview automatically downloads the pathway graph data, parses the data file, maps user data to the pathway, and render pathway graph with the mapped data. In addition, Pathview also seamlessly integrates with pathway and gene set (enrichment) analysis tools for large-scale and fully automated analysis.

PAST takes GWAS output and assigns SNPs to genes, uses those genes to find pathways associated with the genes, and plots pathways based on significance. Implements methods for reading GWAS input data, finding genes associated with SNPs, calculating enrichment score and significance of pathways, and plotting pathways.

This package offers an interface to NDEx servers, e.g. the public server at http://ndexbio.org/. It can retrieve and save networks via the API. Networks are offered as RCX object and as igraph representation.

GAGE is a published method for gene set (enrichment or GSEA) or pathway analysis. GAGE is generally applicable independent of microarray or RNA-Seq data attributes including sample sizes, experimental designs, assay platforms, and other types of heterogeneity, and consistently achieves superior performance over other frequently used methods. In gage package, we provide functions for basic GAGE analysis, result processing and presentation. We have also built pipeline routines for of multiple GAGE analyses in a batch, comparison between parallel analyses, and combined analysis of heterogeneous data from different sources/studies. In addition, we provide demo microarray data and commonly used gene set data based on KEGG pathways and GO terms. These funtions and data are also useful for gene set analysis using other methods.

Model-based Gene Set Analysis (MGSA) is a Bayesian modeling approach for gene set enrichment. The package mgsa implements MGSA and tools to use MGSA together with the Gene Ontology.
