MeSH Enrichment and Semantic analyses


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

Provides tools for MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) enrichment and semantic similarity analysis. The package uses MeSH term annotations linked to Entrez Gene identifiers through gendoo, gene2pubmed and RBBH, enabling over-representation analysis, gene set enrichment analysis and semantic comparison of gene lists or ranked expression profiles. It implements Resnik, Schlicker, Jiang, Lin and Wang similarity methods for comparing MeSH terms, genes and gene groups across more than 70 species.
