bio2bel-msig 0.0.2

A wrapper around MSIGDB

This package allows the enrichment of BEL networks with MSigDB information. Furthermore, it is integrated in the ComPath environment for pathway database comparison.

Installation

This code can be installed with pip3 install git+https://github.com/bio2bel/msig.git

The package expects you have downloaded the gene sets from MSigDB following the instructions and terms stated in their website. The gene sets in gmt format should placed in /resources. However, feel free to change the directory by modifying the constants module.

Functionalities and Commands

Following, the main functionalities and commands to work with this package:

• Populate local database with MSigDB python3 -m bio2bel_msig populate --path='/my/path/to/genesets/msigdb.v6.1.symbols.gmt'
