I want to do gene set enrichment analysis of fatty acid metabolism. The first step is to curate the dataset on this group of genes. I checked the genes from Broad institute, they collected 42 genes from KEGG database. I also find gene set which is provided by QiaGene PCR array, which includes 84 genes. So, the problems is , which one should I use to do GSEA? Who are experts in this filed and what about their recommendations? If above information is not available, how can I (use what kind of criteria) double check and update those datasets?
did you mean fatty acid metabolism?
thanks. I changed the title.
