Description
An R Package for Exploring Molecular Signatures Database.
Description
The Molecular Signatures Database ('MSigDB') is one of the most widely used and comprehensive databases of gene sets for performing gene set enrichment analysis <doi:10.1016/j.cels.2015.12.004>. The 'msig' package provides you with powerful, easy-to-use and flexible query functions for the 'MsigDB' database. There are 2 query modes in the 'msig' package: online query and local query. Both queries contain 2 steps: gene set name and gene. The online search is divided into 2 modes: registered search and non-registered browse. For registered search, email that you registered should be provided. Local queries can be made from local database, which can be updated by msig_update() function.
