bioconductor-visse

This package enables the interpretation and analysis of results from a gene set enrichment analysis using network-based and text-mining approaches. Most enrichment analyses result in large lists of significant gene sets that are difficult to interpret. Tools in this package help build a similarity-based network of significant gene sets from a gene set enrichment analysis that can then be investigated for their biological function using text-mining approaches.

Standard Workflow

Summarize and interpret a list of significant gene sets from an enrichment analysis using network clustering, text-mining, and gene/PPI visualization.

library(msigdb)

library(vissE)
library(igraph)
library(ggplot2)
library(patchwork)

# 1. READ USER INPUT FILES (Simulated here)
msigdb_hs = getMsigdb()
msigdb_hs = subsetCollection(msigdb_hs, c('h', 'c2', 'c5'))
set.seed(360)
geneset_res = sample(sapply(msigdb_hs, setName), 2500)
geneset_gsc = msigdb_hs[geneset_res]

# 2. COMPUTE GENE-SET OVERLAP & NETWORK
gs_ovlap = computeMsigOverlap(geneset_gsc, thresh = 0.25)
gs_ovnet = computeMsigNetwork(gs_ovlap, msigdb_hs)

# 3. IDENTIFY CLUSTERS
geneset_stats = rnorm(2500)
names(geneset_stats) = geneset_res
grps = findMsigClusters(gs_ovnet, genesetStat = geneset_stats, alg = cluster_walktrap, minSize = 5)

# 4. CHARACTERIZE CLUSTERS (TEXT-MINING)
p1 = plotMsigWordcloud(msigdb_hs, grps[1:6], type = 'Name')

# 5. VISUALIZE GENE-LEVEL STATISTICS
genes = unique(unlist(geneIds(geneset_gsc)))
gene_stats = rnorm(length(genes))
names(gene_stats) = genes
p3 = plotGeneStats(gene_stats, msigdb_hs, grps[1:6]) + geom_hline(yintercept = 0, colour = 2, lty = 2)

# 6. VISUALIZE PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS
ppi = getIMEX('hs', inferred = TRUE)
p4 = plotMsigPPI(ppi, msigdb_hs, grps[1:6], geneStat = gene_stats, threshStatistic = 0.2, threshConfidence = 0.2)

# 7. COMBINE VISUALIZATIONS
p2 = plotMsigNetwork(gs_ovnet, markGroups = grps[1:6], genesetStat = geneset_stats)
p1 + p2 + p3 + p4 + plot_layout(2, 2)

Input: A GeneSetCollection object containing significant gene sets. Output: A combined paneled plot summarizing the gene-set clusters, text-mining word clouds, gene statistics, and protein-protein interactions.

When to Use

  • To summarize large lists of significant gene sets from enrichment analyses (e.g., from limma::fry, singscore, or GSEA) using network-based clustering.
  • To perform text-mining on gene-set names or short descriptions using frequency analysis (adjusted with inverse document frequency) to identify recurring biological themes.
  • To visualize gene-level statistics (using plotGeneStats) and protein-protein interactions (using plotMsigPPI) within identified gene-set clusters.

When NOT to Use

  • For performing the initial differential expression or gene-set enrichment calculation itself; use packages like limma or singscore first.
  • When you do not have gene-set definitions or a GeneSetCollection object; vissE requires these to compute overlaps.

Data Requirements

  • A GeneSetCollection object (e.g., from GSEABase or msigdb) representing the significant gene sets.
  • A named numeric vector of gene-set statistics (e.g., p-values or FDRs) where names match the gene-set names.
  • A named numeric vector of gene-level statistics (e.g., log fold-changes) where names match gene identifiers (e.g., Gene Symbols).

Key Parameters

  • thresh (0.25): Threshold for Jaccard index or overlap coefficient in computeMsigOverlap.
  • alg (cluster_walktrap): Graph clustering algorithm from igraph used in findMsigClusters.
  • minSize (5): Minimum cluster size to retain in findMsigClusters.
  • type ('Name'): Type of text-mining source ('Name' or 'Short') in plotMsigWordcloud.
  • threshStatistic (0.2): Minimum gene-level statistic threshold for filtering nodes in plotMsigPPI.
  • threshConfidence (0.2): Minimum confidence score for filtering PPI edges in plotMsigPPI.

Best Practices

  • Filter MSigDB collections to recommended subsets (e.g., 'h', 'c2', 'c5') using subsetCollection to reduce noise.
  • Set a random seed using set.seed before plotting networks (plotMsigNetwork) or PPIs to ensure reproducible layouts.
  • Combine multiple visualization panels (word clouds, networks, gene stats, and PPIs) using patchwork (+ and plot_layout) for collective interpretation.

Common Pitfalls

  • Unmatched gene identifiers: Ensure the gene IDs in your gene-level statistics vector match the ID type (e.g., Symbol vs Ensembl) used in the GeneSetCollection.
  • Extremely dense networks: If the overlap network is too crowded, increase the thresh parameter in computeMsigOverlap to filter out weak overlaps.

Alternatives

  • enrichplot for alternative visualization of enrichment results.
  • clusterProfiler for functional profiling and gene set enrichment analysis.

The package contains functions for exploratory oligonucleotide array analysis. The dependence on tkWidgets only concerns few convenience functions. 'affy' is fully functional without it.

ASURAT is a software for single-cell data analysis. Using ASURAT, one can simultaneously perform unsupervised clustering and biological interpretation in terms of cell type, disease, biological process, and signaling pathway activity. Inputting a single-cell RNA-seq data and knowledge-based databases, such as Cell Ontology, Gene Ontology, KEGG, etc., ASURAT transforms gene expression tables into original multivariate tables, termed sign-by-sample matrices (SSMs).
