runGOseq: Run a GoSeq pathway analysis

In GreallyLab/SMITE: Significance-based Modules Integrating the Transcriptome and Epigenome

Description

This function allows pathway annotation of identified modules.

Usage

runGOseq(pvalue_annotation, p_thresh = 0.05, coverage, type = "reactome")

Arguments

pvalue_annotation	An S4 object of class PvalueAnnotation, for which module-finding has already been performed
p_thresh	A numeric specifying a threshold for signficance of FDR (q-values). DEFAULT is alpha=0.05
coverage	A data.frame that is a bed file (chr start stop) folowed by a gene name and a numeric specifying the bias data (e.g. gene length or number of probes related to gene)
type	Either "kegg" to run KEGG analysis or "reactome" to run a REACTOME analysis

Details

Goseq analysis is useful since it allows you to assess term/pathway enrichment in a collection of genes, while adjusting for bias data. Potential bias can be from aspects like gene length or probe density that influence the likelihood of finding a particular gene. For more information please see the goseq reference.

The function will compare all of the genes within a module to known pathways and terms to find the terms that are most enriched within a module. In this way, this tool allows a reasearch to find a functional importance of a module.

We currently offer KEGG and REACTOME analysis, although additional pathway tools may be added in the near future.

Value

A PvalueAnnotation with goseq annotated modules.

Note

This is a wrapper function written by N. Ari Wijetunga for the package SMITE.
