Bioinformatics and Statistics Resources : Software (Pathway/Enrichment)

" This tool suite, introduced in the first version of DAVID, mainly provides typical batch annotation and gene-GO term enrichment analysis to highlight the most relevant GO terms associated with a given gene list. "

DAVID is freely available as a web-based resource .

En rich r

Enrichr

Enrichr is "an integrative web-based and mobile software application that includes new gene-set libraries, an alternative approach to rank enriched terms, and various interactive visualization approaches to display enrichment results. ". (Chen et al. BMC Bioinformatics 2013)

Enrichr is freely available as a web-based resource .

FunRich

"FunRich is a stand-alone software tool used mainly for functional enrichment and interaction network analysis of genes and proteins. Besides, the results of the analysis can be depicted graphically in the form of Venn, Bar, Column, Pie and Doughnut charts."

FunRich is freely available for download.

g. Profiler g:GOSt

"g:GOSt performs functional enrichment analysis, also known as over-representation analysis (ORA) or gene set enrichment analysis, on input gene list. It maps genes to known functional information sources and detects statistically significantly enriched terms."

g:GOSt is freely available as a web-based resource.

GO-Elite

" GO-Elite is an application designed to identify a non-redundant set of ontology (e.g., Gene Ontology ) terms, gene sets (e.g., transcription factor targets) and pathways (e.g., WikiPathways ) to describe a particular set of genes or metabolites."

GO-Elite is freely available for download or as a web-based resource.

GSEA

"Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a computational method that determines whether an a priori defined set of genes shows statistically significant, concordant differences between two biological states (e.g. phenotypes)."

GSEA is freely available for downloa d or as a web-based resource.

iPathwayGuide

"Next-gen pathway analysis using Advaita’s proprietary “Impact Analysis” method to identify significant pathways without all the noise found in other approaches. iPathwayGuide provides publication-ready results in minutes."

iPathwayGuide is freely available as a web-based resource .

PANTHER

"The PANTHER ( P rotein AN alysis TH rough E volutionary R elationships) Classification System was designed to classify proteins (and their genes) in order to facilitate high-throughput analysis."

PANTHER is freely available as a web-based resource .

PARADIGM

"A factor graph framework for pathway inference on high-throughput genomic data."

PARADIGM is freely available for download.

PathVisio

"PathVisio is a free open-source pathway analysis and drawing software which allows drawing, editing, and analyzing biological pathways. It is developed in Java and can be extended with plugins."

PathVisio is freely available for download.

Pathway Commons

Pathway Commons is freely available as a web-based resource .

R Bioconductor

Bioconductor has quite a few packages designed for pathway and enrichment analysis, such as SPIA, pathview, clipper, gage, graphite, Pathnet, and others. R programming experience is required.

R and Bioconductor are freely available for download.

Reactome
