GSEABase

This package implements inferential methods to compare gene lists in terms of their biological meaning as expressed in the GO. The compared gene lists are characterized by cross-tabulation frequency tables of enriched GO items. Dissimilarity between gene lists is evaluated using the Sorensen-Dice index. The fundamental guiding principle is that two gene lists are taken as similar if they share a great proportion of common enriched GO items.

This package implements the Ensemble of Gene Set Enrichment Analyses (EGSEA) method for gene set testing. EGSEA algorithm utilizes the analysis results of twelve prominent GSE algorithms in the literature to calculate collective significance scores for each gene set.

cogena is a workflow for co-expressed gene-set enrichment analysis. It aims to discovery smaller scale, but highly correlated cellular events that may be of great biological relevance. A novel pipeline for drug discovery and drug repositioning based on the cogena workflow is proposed. Particularly, candidate drugs can be predicted based on the gene expression of disease-related data, or other similar drugs can be identified based on the gene expression of drug-related data. Moreover, the drug mode of action can be disclosed by the associated pathway analysis. In summary, cogena is a flexible workflow for various gene set enrichment analysis for co-expressed genes, with a focus on pathway/GO analysis and drug repositioning.

SVP uses the distance between cells and cells, features and features, cells and features in the space of MCA to build nearest neighbor graph, then uses random walk with restart algorithm to calculate the activity score of gene sets (such as cell marker genes, kegg pathway, go ontology, gene modules, transcription factor or miRNA target sets, reactome pathway, ...), which is then further weighted using the hypergeometric test results from the original expression matrix. To detect the spatially or single cell variable gene sets or (other features) and the spatial colocalization between the features accurately, SVP provides some global and local spatial autocorrelation method to identify the spatial variable features. SVP is developed based on SingleCellExperiment class, which can be interoperable with the existing computing ecosystem.

Detects Gene Ontology and/or other user defined categories which are over/under represented in RNA-seq data.

The package is user friendly interface based on the cgdsr and other modeling packages to explore, compare, and analyse all available Cancer Data (Clinical data, Gene Mutation, Gene Methylation, Gene Expression, Protein Phosphorylation, Copy Number Alteration) hosted by the Computational Biology Center at Memorial-Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC).
