FAQPage Schema

How do I perform pathway enrichment analysis on a gene list using Reactome?▼

Pathway enrichment analysis on a gene list is performed by submitting data to the Reactome Analysis Service. This Skill automates querying the REST API to retrieve overrepresentation results and map genes to human biological pathways.

Can I retrieve Reactome pathway data programmatically via a REST API?▼

Yes, Reactome pathway data can be retrieved programmatically using its REST API. This Skill queries the Content Service to fetch pathway details, reactions, and entities directly through reusable Python scripts.

What is pathway mapping and overrepresentation analysis in systems biology?▼

Pathway mapping and overrepresentation analysis identify statistically significant biological pathways within gene lists. This Skill uses the Reactome Analysis Service to automate expression data interpretation and systems biology research.

Does the Reactome REST API support token-based retrieval for enrichment results?▼

Yes, the Reactome REST API supports token-based result retrieval for enrichment analyses. This Skill manages token generation and data fetching automatically to retrieve expression analysis outcomes.

Do I need Python to automate Reactome pathway analysis queries?▼

Python is required to automate Reactome pathway analysis queries using this Skill. It provides reusable CLI scripts and helper functions that depend on the requests library to interact with the REST API.

What are the limitations of using the Reactome Analysis Service for expression data interpretation?▼

The Reactome Analysis Service is limited to human pathways for expression data interpretation. This Skill automates the REST API queries but does not modify the underlying database scope or analytical algorithms.
