An R interface to the Enrichr database
Wajid Jawaid 2023-04-12
Installation
enrichR can be installed from Github or 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 et al. 2016) hosted at https://maayanlab.cloud/Enrichr/.
By default human genes are selected otherwise select your organism of choice. (This functionality was contributed by Alexander Blume)

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)

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