enrichment_symbols: enrichment_symbols

In RITAN: Rapid Integration of Term Annotation and Network resources

Description

This function is called by term_enrichment() and term_enrichment_by_subset(). The user may call it directly, but we suggest using term_enrichment(). The function uses the resources currently loaded into the active_genesets vector. See load_geneset_symbols().

Usage

enrichment_symbols(geneset, term = NULL, all_symbols = NA, ...)

Arguments

geneset	vector of gene symbols to be evaluated
term	a list containing specific gene set term(s) and their corresponding gene symbols contained in one of the annotation resources, default is all gene set terms in the GO, ReactomePathways, KEGG_filtered_canonical_pathways, and MSigDB_Hallmarks libraries
all_symbols	gene symbols to be evaluated, identified by gene symbol name. Default is all protein coding genes. This parameter should be manipulated to include only the gene symbols that pertain to the user's analysis.
...	additional arguments are not used

Details

Outputs a data frame containing the gene set name, a hypergeometric-test p value, the number of genes from the input gene list that occur in the gene set, the number of genes in the gene set, the gene symbols for the genes in the input gene list, and the q value.

Value

results matrix of input gene list compared to active gene sets. Q value is calculated using entire group of active gene sets.

Examples

require(RITANdata)
myGeneSet <- c('BRCA1','RAD51C','VAV1','HRAS','ABCC1','CYP1B1','CYP3A5')

## Not run: 
## We suggest using term_enrichment() instead. E.g.:
e <- enrichment_symbols(myGeneSet, 'GO')

## End(Not run)

## But, you may use enrichment_symbols() directly for an individual term:
load_geneset_symbols('GO')
e <- enrichment_symbols(myGeneSet, 'DNA_repair')
print(e)

## Not run: 
## Gene set enrichment using intersection of gene symbols 
##   provided in geneset parameter and all protein coding genes.
enrichment_symbols(geneset = vac1.day0vs31.de.genes)

## choose which terms to evaluate
t <- active_genesets[1:5]

## Test enrichment of that set of terms
enrichment_symbols(geneset = vac1.day0vs31.de.genes, term = t) 

## End(Not run)
