The ASURI (Analysis of SUrvival and patients RIsk prediction based on gene signatures) package discovers marker genes that are related to risk prediction capabilities and to a clinical variable of interest. It uses two main steps, including subsampling glmnet and unicox. The package implements robust functions to discover survival markers related to a clinical phenotype and to predict a risk score, allowing to study the patient's risk based on the gene signatures. Several plots are provided to visualise the relevance of the genes, the risk score, and patient stratification, as well as a robust version of the Kaplan-Meier curves.

Coordinated Gene Activity in Pattern Sets (CoGAPS) implements a Bayesian MCMC matrix factorization algorithm, GAPS, and links it to gene set statistic methods to infer biological process activity. It can be used to perform sparse matrix factorization on any data, and when this data represents biomolecules, to do gene set analysis.

Identification of differentially expressed genes and false discovery rate (FDR) calculation by Multiple Comparison test.

This package is intended to identify differentially expressed genes driven by Copy Number Alterations from samples with both gene expression and CNA data.

This package implements a variety of functions useful for gene set analysis using rotations to approximate the null distribution. It contributes with the implementation of seven test statistic scores that can be used with different goals and interpretations. Several functions are available to complement the statistical results with graphical representations.

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.
