TBcommon {TBSignatureProfiler}R Documentation

A list of published TB signatures, using author-given names.

Description

A set of Tuberculosis gene signatures from various publications. This set of signatures uses gene symbols. Attempts have been made to use updated gene symbols and remove symbols that did not match the most recent annotation. Additional sets for Entrez IDs and Ensembl IDs are forthcoming.

Details

This list differs from TBsignatures in that signatures with names specified in their originating publication (or that of a peer) are given that common name rather than using the TBSignatureProfiler naming system. Otherwise, signature names are composed of the last name of the primary author, followed by a possible context for the signature, and ending with either the number of gene transcripts or genes in the signature with respect to however it was described in the original publication.

Possible signature contexts:

Note that in some cases signatures will be positive identifiers of TB whereas others are negative identifiers; this should be taken into account when creating ROC curves and computing any AUC estimates.
