SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires numpy, pandas, gseapy, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you turn a gene list or ranked gene table into biologically meaningful pathway, GO term, and gene-set enrichment results, so you can move from raw hits to interpretable biology.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Over-representation analysis: Test thresholded hit lists for enriched GO, KEGG, Reactome, WikiPathways, and MSigDB signatures.
  • Ranked enrichment analysis: Run preranked GSEA when you have a full ordered gene score table instead of a cutoff-based list.
  • Interpretation and reporting: Handle gene-ID mapping, background selection, multiple-testing correction, redundancy reduction, and publication-ready summaries.
  • Use case: A researcher with differential expression output from RNA-seq can identify which immune, signaling, or metabolic pathways are most affected and present the results in a clean table and dotplot.

Quick Start

Ask for an enrichment analysis on your gene list or ranked genes and specify the organism, preferred gene-set libraries, and whether you want ORA or GSEA results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform pathway enrichment analysis on a gene list?

Pathway enrichment analysis identifies biologically meaningful gene sets from your gene list or ranked table using over-representation analysis or preranked GSEA. This Skill supports GO, KEGG, Reactome, and MSigDB libraries.

When should I use GSEA instead of over-representation analysis?

Use preranked GSEA when you have a full ordered gene score table without a cutoff, and use over-representation analysis when you have a thresholded hit list. This Skill handles both methods to identify enriched pathways.

Can I analyze differential expression output from RNA-seq or Scanpy?

Yes, you can analyze differential expression output from RNA-seq, Scanpy, CRISPR screens, and proteomics hits. The Skill interprets marker genes and ranked tables to find affected immune, signaling, or metabolic pathways.

Does this gene set analysis tool handle multiple-testing correction and gene-ID mapping?

Yes, gene set analysis requires correct gene-ID mapping, organism selection, and background universe control. This Skill manages multiple-testing correction, redundancy reduction, and generates publication-ready summaries.

What is the best way to visualize enriched biological pathways?

To visualize enriched biological pathways, this Skill uses the gseapy library to generate clean result tables and dotplots. It simplifies interpretation workflows for your gene set analysis output.
