This episode is intended to introduce the concept of how to carry out a functional analysis of a subset of differentially expressed (DE) genes, by means of assessing how significantly DE genes enrich gene sets of our interest.

First, we are going to explore the basic concept of enriching a gene set with differentially expressed (DE) genes. Recall the differential expression analysis.

se <- readRDS("data/GSE96870_se.rds")
dds <- DESeq2::DESeqDataSet(se[, se$tissue == "Cerebellum"],

Warning in DESeq2::DESeqDataSet(se[, se$tissue == "Cerebellum"], design = ~sex + : some variables in design formula are
characters, converting to factors
dds <- DESeq2::DESeq(dds)

Fetch results for the contrast between male and female mice.

Enrichment of a curated gene set

Contribute!

Here we illustrate how to assess the enrichment of one gene set we curate ourselves with our subset of DE genes with sex-specific expression. Here we form such a gene set with genes from sex chromosomes. Could you think of another more accurate gene set formed by genes with sex-specific expression?

Build a gene set formed by genes located in the sex chromosomes X and Y.

xygenes <- rownames(se)[decode(seqnames(rowRanges(se)) %in% c("X", "Y"))]
length(xygenes)
[1] 2123

Build a contingency table and conduct a one-tailed Fisher’s exact test that verifies the association between genes being DE between male and female mice and being located in a sex chromosome.

N <- nrow(se)
n <- length(sexDEgenes)
m <- length(xygenes)
k <- length(intersect(xygenes, sexDEgenes)) 
dnames <- list(GS=c("inside", "outside"), DE=c("yes", "no"))
t <- matrix(c(k, n-k, m-k, N+k-n-m),

Gene ontology analysis with clusterProfiler

Contribute!

Here we illustrate how to assess the enrichment on the entire collection of Gene Ontology (GO) gene sets using the package clusterProfiler. Could we illustrate any missing important feature of this package for this analysis objective? Could we briefly mention other packages that may be useful for this task?

Second, let’s perform a gene set analysis for an entire collection of gene sets using the Bioconductor package clusterProfiler. For this purpose, we will fetch the results for the contrast between two time points.

resTime <- DESeq2::results(dds, contrast = c("time", "Day8", "Day0"))
summary(resTime)

adjusted p-value < 0.1

low counts [2]     : 8732, 27%
(mean count < 1)

Select DE genes between Day0 and Day8 with FDR < 5% and minimum 1.5-fold change.
