Overview

clusterProfiler implements methods to analyze and visualize functional profiles of genomic coordinates (supported by ChIPseeker), gene and gene clusters.

Supported Analysis

• Over-Representation Analysis
• Gene Set Enrichment Analysis
• Biological theme comparison

Supported ontologies/pathways

• Gene Ontology (supports many species with GO annotation query online via AnnotationHub)
• KEGG Pathway and Module with latest online data (supports more than 4000 species listed in http://www.genome.jp/kegg/catalog/org_list.html)
• Reactome Pathway (via ReactomePA)
• DAVID (via RDAVIDWebService)
• Molecular Signatures Database
  • hallmark gene sets
  • positional gene sets
  • curated gene sets
  • motif gene sets
  • computational gene sets
  • GO gene sets
  • oncogenic signatures
  • immunologic signatures
• Other Annotations
  • from other sources (e.g. DisGeNET as an example)
