ReactomePA引用过百

Y叔叔 YuLabSMU 2022-09-20

Reactome is a manually curated pathway annotation database for unveiling high-order biological pathways from high-throughput data. ReactomePA is an R/Bioconductor package providing enrichment analyses, including hypergeometric test and gene set enrichment analyses. A functional analysis can be applied to the genomic coordination obtained from a sequencing experiment to analyze the functional significance of genomic loci including cis-regulatory elements and non-coding regions. Comparison among different experiments is also supported. Moreover, ReactomePA provides several visualization functions to produce highly customizable, publication-quality figures. The source code and documents of ReactomePA are freely available through Bioconductor (http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/ReactomePA).

google scholar上引用已经过百,wos上的引用也有62,且是ESI高被引文章

写这个包是在KEGG刚转向收费的时候,当时Bioconductor的mailing-list上各种KEGG走向封闭,我们该怎么办的各种问号,于是我顺手就写了个富集分析的包去占位,顺手是因为有clusterProfiler的基础,代码可以说是现成的,而当年我在用IPA,所以取了ReactomePA这个名字,我其实是有想法的,是想要实现一些网络分析的,然而我还没学会(更不用谈去实现了),就跑去读博了,然后就没有然后了。

还是有 然后,就一直放着,终于某一天我想写文章了,而这催生我写文章的,其实是ChIPseeker,所谓一点即成文,写一篇文章,总想介绍点新东西,而这篇文章写的新东西就是结合ChIPseeker,我们可以做genomic loci的富集分析。当然这种东西一打通,我的系列包都可以,包括大家熟知的clusterProfiler,然而clusterProfiler的文章非常老了,那是当年最简单的版本,你看ReactomePA的文章,也是有助于了解clusterProfiler的相应功能的。
