An R Package for Exploring Molecular Signatures Database
Description
The Molecular Signatures Database ('MSigDB') is one of the most widely
used and comprehensive databases of gene sets for performing gene set
enrichment analysis . The 'msig' package provides
you with powerful, easy-to-use and flexible query functions for the 'MsigDB'
database.
There are 2 query modes in the 'msig' package: online query and local query.
Both queries contain 2 steps: gene set name and gene.
The online search is divided into 2 modes: registered search and
non-registered browse. For registered search, email that you registered should
