The Kinase Library is a comprehensive Python package for analyzing phosphoproteomics data, focusing on kinase-substrate relationships. It provides tools for kinase prediction, enrichment analysis, and visualization, enabling researchers to gain insights into kinase activities and signaling pathways from phosphoproteomics datasets.

Features

• Kinase Prediction: Predict potential kinases responsible for phosphorylation sites using a built-in kinase-substrate prediction algorithm.
• Enrichment Analysis: Perform kinase enrichment analysis using binary enrichment or differential phosphorylation analysis.
• Motif Enrichment Analysis (MEA): Identify kinases potentially regulated in your dataset using MEA with the GSEA algorithm.
• Visualization: Generate volcano plots, bubble maps, and other visualizations to interpret enrichment results.
• Downstream Substrate Identification: Explore putative downstream substrates of enriched kinases.

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install kinase-library
