DOSE

I am glad to release DOSE v3.0, the most important enhancement is now GSEA supports leading edge analysis.

Thanks to the invitation from Alexey Sergishichev, I switch to fgsea in DOSE for calculating enrichment score of GSEA analysis. User can still use my implementation by specifying by="DOSE".

Now enrichMap and cnetplot output igraph object, so that it can be viewed by other software (e.g. networkD3). title parameter is supported in gseaplot.

Several accessor functions, including $, [, and [[ were implemented for enrichResult and gseaResult object. head, tail and dim is also supported. summary method was deprecated, instead user should use as.data.frame to convert the enrichResult or gseaResult object to data.frame.

In additional to DO and NCG, DisGeNET data was incorporated and we can identify disease association by using this annotation.

ggtree

I am very happy that ggtree was published in MEE.

G Yu, DK Smith, H Zhu, Y Guan, TTY Lam*. ggtree: an R package for visualization and annotation of phylogenetic trees with their covariates and other associated data. Methods in Ecology and Evolution. doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12628.

In this release, more functionalities were added and of course several bug fixed.

File parsing

read.phyloT for parsing newick format of phyloT output.

read.nhx supports newick file as NHX format allow tree without nhx tags.

Support reading BEAST MCC trees by read.beast function.

tree object support

phylo4d defined in phylobase package is supported, and associated data stored in phylo4d object can be used to annotate the tree directly in ggtree.

Geom

New geoms including geom_strip, geom_range, geom_balance (contributed by Justin Silverman, the author of philr).

geom_cladelabel now supports parsing expression to label clades.

Layout

fan layout is supported, and user can use open_tree function to transform a tree from rectangular or circular to fan layout.

Enhancement and utilities

identify method support annotating trees interactively.

facet_plot supports aligning other plots to phylogenetic trees.

https://twitter.com/guangchuangyu/status/773359054924095488

as.polytomy allow collapsing binary tree to polytomy by applying ‘fun’ to selected ‘feature’ (e.g. bootstrap value less than 70).

meshes

MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the NLM controlled vocabulary used to manually index articles for MEDLINE/PubMed. MeSH terms were associated by Entrez Gene ID by three methods, gendoo, gene2pubmed and RBBH. This association is fundamental for enrichment and semantic analyses. meshes supports enrichment analysis (over-representation and gene set enrichment analysis) of gene list or whole expression profile. The semantic comparisons of MeSH terms provide quantitative ways to compute similarities between genes and gene groups. meshes implemented five methods proposed by Resnik, Schlicker, Jiang, Lin and Wang respectively and supports more than 70 species.

meshes was newly introduced in this BioC release branch. It supports semantic similarity measurement and enrichment analysis of more than 70 species.
