gep2pep

Pathway Expression Profiles (PEPs) are based on the expression of pathways (defined as sets of genes) as opposed to individual genes. This package converts gene expression profiles to PEPs and performs enrichment analysis of both pathways and experimental conditions, such as "Drug Set Enrichment Analysis" (finding pathways that are consistently dysregulated by a set of drugs) and "gene2drug" analysis (finding drugs that dysregulate a set of pathways or a single gene).

Two papers have been published in Bioinformatics covering gep2pep methods:

  • A paper about Drug Set Enrichment Analysis.
  • A paper about gene2drug analysis.

Two corresponding webtools are online, which use Cmap data for both types of analysis:

News

v1.3.1

  • Bug fixes, submitted to Bioconductor.

  • Added "SGE mode", including the function addSingleGeneSets. This is to support fast computation of Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics for large collections of gene sets including a single gene, which is useful to support gene-centric (as opposed to pathway-centric) analysis.

  • gene2pathways now accepts a list of genes and returns all the pathways including either ALL of them or ANY of them according to the new and paramater.

v1.1.1

  • added support to deal with MsigDB release 6.1, which contains unconventional set categories ("ARCHIVED")

  • added raw-mode to deal with large datasets. Raw mode stores PEPs to separate files during conversion, thus can be easily parallelized

  • added "organism" parameter to importMSigDB to select sets

  • added hdf5 support for large collections of PEPs

v1.0.0

  • First release
