Basic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_set_enrichment_analysis

Determines whether an a priori defined set of genes shows statistically significant, concordant differences between two biological states

Two categories of GSEA procedures:

  • Competitive: compare genes in the test set relative to all other genes.
  • Self-contained: whether the gene-set is more DE than one were to expect under the null of no association between two phenotype conditions (without reference to other genes in the genome). For example the method by Jiang & Gentleman Bioinformatics 2007

See also BRB-ArrayTools -> GSEA.

Interpretation

  • XXX class is associated with the XXX gene sets (GSVA vignette)
  • XXX subtype is characterized by the expression of XXX markers, thus we expect it to correlate with the XXX gene set (GSVA vignette)
  • The XXX subtype shows high expression of XXX genes, thus the XXX gene sets is highly enriched for this group (GSVA vignette)

Calculation

FDR cutoff

Why does GSEA use a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.25 rather than the more classic 0.05?

edgeR

Subramanian algorithm

In the plot, (x-axis) genes are sorted by their expression across all samples. Y-axis represents enrichment score. See HOW TO PERFORM GSEA - A tutorial on gene set enrichment analysis for RNA-seq. Bars represents genes being in the gene set. Genes on the LHS/RHS are more highly expressed in the experimental/control group. Small p means this gene set is enriched in this experimental sample.

ssGSEA

  • https://github.com/broadinstitute/ssGSEA2.0
  • ssGSEAProjection (v9.1.2). Each ssGSEA enrichment score represents the degree to which the genes in a particular gene set are coordinately up- or down-regulated within a sample.
  • single sample GSEA (ssGSEA) from http://baderlab.org/
  • How single sample GSEA works
  • Data formats gct (expression data format), gmt (gene set database format).
  • GSVA and SSGSEA for RNA-Seq TPM data.
    • Generally, negative enrichment values imply down-regulation of a signature / pathway; whereas, positive values imply up-regulation.
    • The idea is to then conduct a differential signature / pathway analysis (using, for example, limma) so that you can have, in addition to differentially expressed genes, differentially expressed signatures / pathways.
  • GSVA vignette. In GSEA Subramanian et al. (2005) it is also observed that the empirical null distribution obtained by permuting phenotypes is bimodal and, for this reason, significance is determined independently using the positive and negative sides of the null distribution.
  • Tips:
  • 纯R代码实现ssGSEA算法评估肿瘤免疫浸润程度. The pheatmap package was used to draw the heatmap. Original paper.
    • fpkm expression data was sorted by gene name & median values. Duplicated genes are removed. The data is transformed by log2(x+1) before sent to gsva()
    • NES scores are scaled and truncated to [-2, 2]. The scores are further scaled to have the range [0,1] before sending it to the heatmap function
  • gsva() from the GSVA package has an option to compute ssGSEA. 单样本基因集富集分析 --- ssGSEA. The output of gsva() is a matrix of ES (# gene sets x # samples). It does not produce plots nor running the permutation tests. Notice the option ssgsea.norm. Note ssgsea.norm = TRUE (default) option will scale ES by the absolute difference of the max and min ES; Unscaled ES / (abs(max(unscaled ES) - min(unscaled ES)). So the scaled ES values depends on the included samples. But it seems the impact of the included samples is small from some real data. See the source code on github and on how to debug an S4 function.

p <- 10 ## number of genes

            dimnames=list(paste("g", 1:p, sep="") , paste("s", 1:n, sep="")))

## genes in set1 are expressed at higher levels in the last 'nGrp1+1' to 'n' samples

  • A simple implementation of ssGSEA (single sample gene set enrichment analysis)
  • Use "ssgsea-gui.R". The first question is a folder containing input files GCT. The 2nd question is about gene set database in GMT format. This has to be very restrict. For example, "ptm.sig.db.all.uniprot.human.v1.9.0.gmt" and "ptm.sig.db.all.sitegrpid.human.v1.9.0.gmt" provided in github won't work with the example GCT file. 
    setwd("~/github/ssGSEA2.0/")
source("ssgsea-gui.R")
# select a folder containing gct files; e.g. PI3K_pert_logP_n2x23936.gct 
# select a gene set file; e.g. <ptm.sig.db.all.flanking.human.v1.8.1.gmt>

    A new folder (e.g. 2021-03-01) will be created under the same parent folder as the gct file folder. 

    tree -L 1 ~/github/ssGSEA2.0/example/gct/2021-03-20/

    Since the GCT file contains 2 samples (the last 2 columns), ssGSEA produces one rank plot for each gene set (with adjusted p-value & the plot could contain multiple samples). The ES scores are saved in <PI3K_pert_logP_n2x23936_ssGSEA-scores> and adjust p-values are saved in <PI3K_pert_logP_n2x23936_ssGSEA-fdr-pvalues>.
