Requirements

We recommend the latest version of R (>= 4.0.0) but hypeR currently requires R (>= 3.6.0) to be installed directly from Github or Bioconductor. To install with R (>= 3.5.0) see below. Use with R (\< 3.5.0) is not recommended.

Installation

Install the development version of the package from Github.

devtools::install_github("montilab/hypeR")

Or install the development version of the package from Bioconductor.

BiocManager::install("montilab/hypeR", version="devel")

Or install with Conda.

conda create --name hyper
source activate hyper
conda install -c r r-devtools
R
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github("montilab/hypeR")

Or install with previous versions of R.

git clone https://github.com/montilab/hypeR
nano hypeR/DESCRIPTION
# Change Line 8
# Depends: R (>= 3.6.0) -> Depends: R (>= 3.5.0)
R
install.packages("path/to/hypeR", repos=NULL, type="source")

Terminology

Signature

hypeR employs multiple types of enrichment analyses (e.g. hypergeometric, kstest, gsea). Depending on the type, different kinds of signatures are expected. There are three types of signatures hypeR() expects.

# Simply a character vector of symbols (hypergeometric)
signature <- c("GENE1", "GENE2", "GENE3")

# A ranked character vector of symbols (kstest)
ranked.signature <- c("GENE2", "GENE1", "GENE3")

# A ranked named numerical vector of symbols with ranking weights (gsea)
weighted.signature <- c("GENE2"=1.22, "GENE1"=0.94, "GENE3"=0.77)

Geneset

A geneset is simply a list of vectors, therefore, one can use any custom geneset in their analyses, as long as it’s appropriately defined.

genesets <- list("GSET1" = c("GENE1", "GENE2", "GENE3"),
                 "GSET2" = c("GENE4", "GENE5", "GENE6"),
                 "GSET3" = c("GENE7", "GENE8", "GENE9"))

Hyper enrichment

All workflows begin with performing hyper enrichment with hyper(). Often we are just interested in a single signature, as described above. In this case, hyper() will return a hyp object. This object contains relevant information to the enrichment results and is recognized by downstream methods.

hyp_obj <- hypeR(signature, genesets)

Downstream methods

Please visit the documentation for detailed functionality. Below is a brief list of some methods.

Downloading genesets

BIOCARTA <- msigdb_gsets(species="Homo sapiens", category="C2", subcategory="CP:BIOCARTA")
KEGG     <- msigdb_gsets(species="Homo sapiens", category="C2", subcategory="CP:KEGG")
REACTOME <- msigdb_gsets(species="Homo sapiens", category="C2", subcategory="CP:REACTOME")

Visualize results

# Show interactive table
hyp_show(hyp_obj)

# Plot dots plot
hyp_dots(hyp_obj)

# Plot enrichment map
hyp_emap(hyp_obj)

# Plot hiearchy map
hyp_hmap(hyp_obj)

Saving results

# Save to excel
hyp_to_excel(hyp_obj, file_path="hypeR.xlsx")

# Save to table
hyp_to_table(hyp_obj, file_path="hypeR.txt")

# Generate markdown report
hyp_to_rmd(hyp_obj,
           file_path="hypeR.rmd",
           title="Hyper Enrichment (hypeR)",
           subtitle="YAP, TNF, and TAZ Knockout Experiments",
