Hi!

This is extension of the thread related to pathway enrichment tools discussed previously and quite extensively here on Biostars.

I have little complicated question:

Imagine you have a list of genes (more than 1000) and you want to know the pathways that are enriched by them (with p value <0.05) and also the number of genes shared between these pathways.

Any ideas to do this in less time consuming & efficient manner?

Thank you

Maybe you could link the previous thread here so people know what you are talking about ;-)

"Reactome" would be a good answer ?

I like very much the list of tools posted here:

Hi, we recently developed FIDEA a tool thought to facilitate the enrichment analysis. You can find it at http://www.biocomputing.it/fidea If you think that it is useful for your purpose and/or you need help let me know.

Hi, have you used the modular enrichment analysis of DAVID?

DAVID and webgastalt would be your choice

You can also see pathway enrichment at the various InterMine sites, e.g for human genes you can upload a list at metabolicMine: http://metabolicmine.org/beta/bag.do, for fly use FlyMine: http://www.flymine.org/query/bag.do.

I think you can also do enrichment calculations via the API.

I now use this: Lynx developed at the Computation Institute at the University of Chicago. It includes a network based prioritization algorithm here. You can batch upload big lists of genes. I haven't done 1000 yet, but I bet you probably could. Plus, they have a web service.

I usually download the pathway annotation system and then convert it into an adjacency matrix. Using Fisher's Exact test you can then easily determine significance of gene set overlaps!
