GSA.correlate {GSA}R Documentation

"Correlates" a gene set collection with a given list of gene nams

Description

"Correlates" a gene set collection with a given list of gene names. Gives info on the overlap between the collection and the list of genes

Usage

GSA.correlate(GSA.genesets.obj, genenames)

Arguments

GSA.genesets.obj

Gene set collection, created for example by GSA.read.gmt

genenames

Vector of gene names in expression daatset

Details

Gives info on the overlap between a gene set collection and the list of gene names. This is for information purposes, to find out, for example, how many genes in the list of genes appear in the gene set collection.
