GSEAmining
Gene Set Enrichment Analysis is a very powerful and interesting computational method that allows an easy correlation between differential expressed genes and biological processes. Unfortunately, although it was designed to help researchers to interpret gene expression data it can generate huge amounts of results whose biological meaning can be difficult to interpret. Many available tools rely on the hierarchically structured Gene Ontology (GO) classification to reduce reundandcy in the results. However, due to the popularity of GSEA many more gene set collections, such as those in the Molecular Signatures Database are emerging. Since these collections are not organized as those in GO, their usage for GSEA do not always give a straightforward answer or, in other words, getting all the meaninful information can be challenging with the currently available tools. For these reasons, GSEAmining was born to be an easy tool to create reproducible reports to help researchers make biological sense of GSEA outputs. Given the results of GSEA, GSEAmining clusters the different gene sets collections based on the presence of the same genes in the leadind edge (core) subset. Leading edge subsets are those genes that contribute most to the enrichment score of each collection of genes or gene sets. For this reason, gene sets that participate in similar biological processes should share genes in common and in turn cluster together. After that, GSEAmining is able to identify and represent for each cluster: - The most enriched terms in the names of gene sets (as wordclouds) - The most enriched genes in the leading edge subsets (as bar plots). In each case, positive and negative enrichments are shown in different colors so it is easy to distinguish biological processes or genes that may be of interest in that particular study.

To facilitate and streamline phosphoproteomics data analysis, we developed SmartPhos, an R package for the pre-processing, quality control, and exploratory analysis of phosphoproteomics data generated by MaxQuant and Spectronaut. The package can be used either through the R command line or through an interactive ShinyApp called SmartPhos Explorer. The package contains methods such as normalization and normalization correction, transformation, imputation, batch effect correction, PCA, heatmap, differential expression, time-series clustering, gene set enrichment analysis, and kinase activity inference.
cogena is a workflow for co-expressed gene-set enrichment analysis. It aims to discovery smaller scale, but highly correlated cellular events that may be of great biological relevance. A novel pipeline for drug discovery and drug repositioning based on the cogena workflow is proposed. Particularly, candidate drugs can be predicted based on the gene expression of disease-related data, or other similar drugs can be identified based on the gene expression of drug-related data. Moreover, the drug mode of action can be disclosed by the associated pathway analysis. In summary, cogena is a flexible workflow for various gene set enrichment analysis for co-expressed genes, with a focus on pathway/GO analysis and drug repositioning.

A universal tool for interpreting functional characteristics of omics data. It supports Over-Representation Analysis (ORA) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) for both coding and non-coding genomics data of thousands of species. It provides a unified and tidy interface to access, manipulate, and visualize enrichment results. A key capability is the simultaneous analysis and comparison of datasets from multiple treatments or time points. Furthermore, it integrates Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities to provide automated and insightful interpretation of enrichment results.
