Supported organisms
Currently ReactomePA supports several model organisms, including ‘celegans’, ‘fly’, ‘human’, ‘mouse’, ‘rat’, ‘yeast’ and ‘zebrafish’. The input gene ID should be Entrez gene ID. We recommend using clusterProfiler::bitr to convert biological IDs. For more detail, please refer to bitr: Biological Id TranslatoR.
Pathway Enrichment Analysis
Enrichment analysis is a widely used approach to identify biological themes. Here, we implement hypergeometric model to assess whether the number of selected genes associated with reactome pathway is larger than expected. The p values were calculated based the hypergeometric model(Boyle et al. 2004).

Pathway analysis of NGS data
Pathway analysis using NGS data (eg, RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq) can be performed by linking coding and non-coding regions to coding genes via ChIPseeker package, which can annotates genomic regions to their nearest genes, host genes, and flanking genes respectivly. In addtion, it provides a function, seq2gene, that simultaneously considering host genes, promoter region and flanking gene from intergenic region that may under control via cis-regulation. This function maps genomic regions to genes in a many-to-many manner and facilitate functional analysis. For more details, please refer to ChIPseeker(Yu, Wang, and He 2015).
Visualize enrichment result
We implement barplot, dotplot enrichment map and category-gene-network for visualization. It is very common to visualize the enrichment result in bar or pie chart. We believe the pie chart is misleading and only provide bar chart.
Enrichment map can be viusalized by enrichMap:
In order to consider the potentially biological complexities in which a gene may belong to multiple annotation categories, we developed cnetplot function to extract the complex association between genes and diseases.
Comparing enriched reactome pathways among gene clusters with clusterProfiler
We have developed an R package clusterProfiler(Yu et al. 2012) for comparing biological themes among gene clusters. ReactomePA works fine with clusterProfiler and can compare biological themes at reactome pathway perspective.
require(clusterProfiler)
data(gcSample)
res <- compareCluster(gcSample, fun="enrichPathway")
dotplot(res)
Gene Set Enrichment Analysis
A common approach in analyzing gene expression profiles was identifying differential expressed genes that are deemed interesting. The enrichPathway function we demonstrated previously were based on these differential expressed genes. This approach will find genes where the difference is large, but it will not detect a situation where the difference is small, but evidenced in coordinated way in a set of related genes. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA)(Subramanian et al. 2005) directly addressed this limitation. All genes can be used in GSEA; GSEA aggregates the per gene statistics across genes within a gene set, therefore making it possible to detect situations where all genes in a predefined set change in a small but coordinated way. For algorithm details, please refer to the vignette of DOSE(Yu et al. 2015).
