Flexible Gene Set Enrichment Analysis

DOI

flexgsea is a R package to do gene set enrichment analysis [1]. Main advantages:

  • Allows user defined functions. So you can use you favorite package for differential expression.
  • Calculates significance by sample permutation.
  • Parallelization using the foreach package.
  • Can calculate normalized enrichment scores (NES) and significance based on that.
  • Implements the weighted KS-like statistic.

The package is not yet on CRAN. You can install from Github:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("NKI-CCB/flexgsea-r")

Main documentation is on the flexgsea function in the package:

help('flexgsea', 'flexgsea')

This package was called ggsea before.
