This package implements the Ensemble of Gene Set Enrichment Analyses (EGSEA) method for gene set testing. EGSEA algorithm utilizes the analysis results of twelve prominent GSE algorithms in the literature to calculate collective significance scores for each gene set.

Pathview is a tool set for pathway based data integration and visualization. It maps and renders a wide variety of biological data on relevant pathway graphs. All users need is to supply their data and specify the target pathway. Pathview automatically downloads the pathway graph data, parses the data file, maps user data to the pathway, and render pathway graph with the mapped data. In addition, Pathview also seamlessly integrates with pathway and gene set (enrichment) analysis tools for large-scale and fully automated analysis.

SBGNview is a tool set for pathway based data visalization, integration and analysis. SBGNview is similar and complementary to the widely used Pathview, with the following key features: 1. Pathway definition by the widely adopted Systems Biology Graphical Notation (SBGN); 2. Supports multiple major pathway databases beyond KEGG (Reactome, MetaCyc, SMPDB, PANTHER, METACROP) and user defined pathways; 3. Covers 5,200 reference pathways and over 3,000 species by default; 4. Extensive graphics controls, including glyph and edge attributes, graph layout and sub-pathway highlight; 5. SBGN pathway data manipulation, processing, extraction and analysis.

This package implements a variety of functions useful for gene set analysis using rotations to approximate the null distribution. It contributes with the implementation of seven test statistic scores that can be used with different goals and interpretations. Several functions are available to complement the statistical results with graphical representations.

GAGE is a published method for gene set (enrichment or GSEA) or pathway analysis. GAGE is generally applicable independent of microarray or RNA-Seq data attributes including sample sizes, experimental designs, assay platforms, and other types of heterogeneity, and consistently achieves superior performance over other frequently used methods. In gage package, we provide functions for basic GAGE analysis, result processing and presentation. We have also built pipeline routines for of multiple GAGE analyses in a batch, comparison between parallel analyses, and combined analysis of heterogeneous data from different sources/studies. In addition, we provide demo microarray data and commonly used gene set data based on KEGG pathways and GO terms. These funtions and data are also useful for gene set analysis using other methods.

Statistical methods for multiple testing with covariate information. Traditional multiple testing methods only consider a list of test statistics, such as p-values. Our methods incorporate the auxiliary information, such as the lengths of gene coding regions or the minor allele frequencies of SNPs, to improve power.
