Analyse Gene Expression (ReactomeGSA)
230+
-------------------------------------
231+
232+
This “Analyse Gene Expression” or ReactomeGSA resource provides comparative pathway analyses of multi-omics datasets. It allows
233+
researchers to uncover the functional relevance of a list of genes, associated with quantitative data, in the context of
234+
biological pathways and processes.
235+
236+
The ideal identifiers to use are:
237+
238+
* UniProt IDs for proteins
239+
* ChEBI IDs for small molecules
240+
* HGNC gene symbols or ENSEMBL IDs for DNA/RNA molecules
241+
242+
These are our main external reference sources for proteins and small molecules.
243+
244+
In Reactome, we offer three gene-set enrichment analysis algorithms:
245+
246+
PADOG: Pathway Analysis with Down-weighting of Overlapping Genes
247+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
248+
249+
- It corrects for **gene set redundancy**; some pathways share many genes, which can bias results.
250+
- Instead of treating all genes equally, PADOG down-weights genes that appear in multiple pathways, making the analysis less biased
251+
by highly represented genes.
252+
- Works well in cases where overlapping genes skew enrichment scores in traditional methods.
253+
254+
CAMERA: Correlation Adjusted Mean Rank
255+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
256+
257+
- It adjusts for **inter-gene** correlation in gene sets.
258+
- Traditional enrichment approaches assume genes are independent, but in reality, co-expressed genes within a pathway tend to be correlated.
259+
- CAMERA corrects for this by adjusting the statistical testing, making it more reliable when genes within pathways have strong dependencies.
260+
- Works well for datasets where gene co-expression is expected, for example, in transcriptomic data.
261+
262+
ssGSEA: Single-sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis
263+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
264+
265+
- ssGSEA calculates an **enrichment score** for each gene set in individual samples.
266+
- It does not rely on ranking differentially expressed genes across conditions but rather assigns an enrichment score per sample based
267+
on the expression of genes in a pathway.
268+
- This makes it useful for single-sample comparisons, such as identifying pathway activity in individual patients or cell types.
269+
- Works well for single-cell or single-sample datasets.
