Clarification on Gene Enrichment

If you compare A vs B the genes's fold change will have the opposite sign to B vs A. So will be the gene set up or down-regulated depending on the comparison to take. The gene set test analyze if a ...

Script to allow gene set enrichment analysis of 10x genomics data in R

Seruat will give you a list of genes which it thinks are upregulated in a particular cluster. Look at the functions that talk about marker genes - these functions basically do a DE analysis of the ...

Clarification on Gene Enrichment

While I'm not familiar with GSEA software in particular, I believe your problem is that it only tests for upregulated gene sets. Notice: 866/4408 gene sets are upregulated 3542/4408 gene ...

Comparison of gene set enrichment statistics

I assume that you are talking about the implementation of these methods in the limma package. Otherwise this answer does not apply. I think that your questions can be answered with some simulations ...

Ranking metric in GSEA

If using DESeq2 with GSEA, I'd recommend ranking by shrunk log2FC values. It'd also be worth considering ranking positive and negative associations separately, because the standard GSEA algorithm ...

GSEA- parsing error for .cls file

You seem to have forgotten the space after the #. It should be as in here (Just for future readers know where to find the specs). Also it should be a single line (Maybe this error was introduced while ...

Is there anything similar to GSEA for locus-based (instead of of gene-based) data?

I tinkered with a program GSEA-SNP quite a few years back, which claims that it does a similar ranking procedure with SNPs. It carries out its procedure by first linking SNPs with genes, then running ...

Script to allow gene set enrichment analysis of 10x genomics data in R

There is no purpose-built R package to perform gene set enrichment analysis on single-cell data but there does not need to be. You should be able to tools developed for bulk-RNA-Seq or microarray data,...

are GSEA and other geneset enrichment analysis supposed to yield extremely different results between them?

Each of these methods do something different, so it is reasonable to expect different results. The bottom line is that there isn't a single question you can ask when you do an "enrichment test&...

Is there an established method for comparing expression of groups of genes (gene sets)?

You could apply the GSVA transformation to later compare them. You would need to give a step back and start from the expression values not log2FC, but I think it would be better than using the log2FC ...

GSEA: Computing an Enrichment Score (as described in the original paper)

Actually I believe I get it now. i is not a constant. We vary it from i=1 to N and consider the i for which $P_{hit} - P_{miss}$ is largest in magnitude

Is the potential skewing of FDR and ranking of gene set analysis with gene sets with hierarchical structure a concern?

Statisticians might kill me for it but I've always filtered long and redundant geneset lists to only contain what remotely makes biological sense in my setup. If I am investigating leukocyte ...

How to run GSEA analysis on R studio using DEG file list generated from scRNAseq analysis

I'd probably just use fgsea. Your code won't have to change much, it also just uses a ranked list.

Can I use GSEA to look for enrichment in data that is grouped into sets but are not necessarily genes?

Yes, if you have a ranked list, you can use GSEA to calculate the enrichment of the strains along the ranked list. Note that hypergeometric test is for count data, so you would test if there are ...
