pathfindR: A package for Enrichment Analysis Utilizing Active Subnetworks

Description

pathfindR is a tool for active-subnetwork-oriented gene set enrichment analysis. The main aim of the package is to identify active subnetworks in a protein-protein interaction network using a user-provided list of genes and associated p values then performing enrichment analyses on the identified subnetworks, discovering enriched terms (i.e. pathways, gene ontology, TF target gene sets etc.) that possibly underlie the phenotype of interest.

Details

For analysis on non-Homo sapiens organisms, pathfindR offers utility functions for obtaining organism-specific PIN data and organism-specific gene sets data.

pathfindR also offers functionalities to cluster the enriched terms and identify representative terms in each cluster, to score the enriched terms per sample and to visualize analysis results.
