Checks: 7 0

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.2). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20200930) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version cbf7fbd. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:


Ignored files:
    Ignored:    .Rhistory
    Ignored:    .Rproj.user/

Unstaged changes:
    Modified:   analysis/_site.yml

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.


These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (analysis/dge_enrichment.Rmd) and HTML (docs/dge_enrichment.html) files. If you’ve configured a remote Git repository (see ?wflow_git_remote), click on the hyperlinks in the table below to view the files as they were in that past version.

Gene-set collections were imported from MSigDB version 7.2.1. For gene-sets derived from GO terms, those with fewer than 5 steps back to each ontology root node were excluded as these were likely to be less informative than those at lower levels of the ontology. However, all terms considered as terminal nodes (i.e. with no children) were additionally retained. Information regarding the shortest path back to each ontology root was obtained from https://uofabioinformaticshub.github.io/summaries2GO/MakeSummaries.

The gene-sets belonging to Category C3 were associated with transcriptional regulation, whilst the remaining gene-sets were more focussed on processes and pathways. Two analyses are performed below, following this distinction.

As some bias has been previously identified in this dataset, a probability weight function for consideration of a gene as DE was estimated using the standard goseq workflow. Both GC content and gene length were investigated as potential sources of bias with gene length demonstrating the largest influence. This was subsequently included as an offset for sampling bias in all enrichment analyses looking within the set of DE genes.

For enrichment analysis of up and down-regulated genes separately, probability weight functions were also generated for both subsets of DE genes

  • The Early and Late Estrogen Responses were both observed, and largely overlapped
  • Regulation of the MAPK Cascade, TNF\(\alpha\) signalling via NF\(\kappa\beta\) and the EMT transition were highly connected
  • Three connected metabolic processes were also well connected

Given the reduced power of the smaller gene-sets used when investigating up & down-regulated genes separately, an FDR of 0.05 was again chosen for this section. Using this FDR threshold of \(\alpha =\) 0.05, 76 transcriptional regulation gene sets were considered as enriched within the set of 472 previously defined down-regulated genes.

Regulatory gene-sets to an FDR of 0.05 within the set of 384 up-regulated genes. Up-regulated Genes associated with each gene-set are shown in the final column. 'Expected' indicates how many genes would have been expected if there was no enrichment.

A comparison of the p-values obtained from the individual directional analysis revealed:

  • Both AP1 and NFAT regulated genes appear to have no directional bias
  • GREB1, LEF1 and CHX10 regulated genes appear slightly biased towards up-regulation
  • Most other gene-sets have a bias to either up (e.g. AACTTT_UNKNOWN, HMEF2) or down (e.g. ICSBP, IRF, TCF4) regulation
