Objective

To familiarize oneself with G:Profiler for enrichment analysis purposes.

Progress

Worked through the sample gene set provided in the assignment.

Conclusions

  • What is the top term returned in each data source?
    • GO biological process: immune system process GO:0002376 7.171×10-150
    • Reactome: Immune System REAC:R-HSA-168256 6.800×10-78
    • WikiPathways: TYROBP causal network in microglia WP:WP3945 1.161×10-20
  • How many genes are in each of the above genesets returned?
    • immune system process:2748 genes total
    • immune system: 2041 genes total
    • tyrobp:63 genes total
  • How many genes from our query are found in the above genesets?
    • immune system process:287 genes in query found
    • immune system: 218 genes in query found
    • tyrobp:27 genes in query found
  • Change g:profiler settings so that you limit the size of the returned genesets. Make sure the returned genesets are between 5 and 200 genes in size. Did that change the results?
    • Yes, many data points were removed; the top terms now have approx 130 genesets in GO:BP instead of the aforementioned 2748.
  • Which of the 4 ovarian cancer expression subtypes do you think this list represents?
    • Not 100% sure but almost every resulting term in the query deals with immune response, and online it says that immunoreactive is an expression subtype so I believe it would be of the immunoractive subclass.

Outlook

  • Going forward, I will practice using g:profiler.
