An R interface to the Enrichr database
Wajid Jawaid 2019-08-01
Installation
enrichR can be installed from Github or soon from CRAN.
Github
library(devtools)
install_github("wjawaid/enrichR")CRAN
The package can be downloaded from CRAN using:
install.packages("enrichR")Usage example
enrichR provides an interface to the Enrichr database [@kuleshov_enrichr:_2016] hosted at http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/Enrichr.
First find the list of all available databases from Enrichr.
library(enrichR)
dbs <- listEnrichrDbs()head(dbs)| geneCoverage | genesPerTerm | libraryName | link | numTerms | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 13362 | 275 | Genome_Browser_PWMs | http://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/hg18/database/ | 615 |

View and select your favourite databases. Then query enrichr, in this case I have used genes associated with embryonic haematopoiesis.
dbs <- c("GO_Molecular_Function_2015", "GO_Cellular_Component_2015", "GO_Biological_Process_2015")
enriched <- enrichr(c("Runx1", "Gfi1", "Gfi1b", "Spi1", "Gata1", "Kdr"), dbs)
#> Uploading data to Enrichr... Done.

enriched[["GO_Biological_Process_2015"]]You can give many genes.
