GSEACompass

A brief introduction to GSEACompass and its goals.

What it is and what it's not

GSEACompass is a software intended to

• Provide a quick and straight-forward way of running GSEA and GSEA preranked;

• Generate, resize and save many publication-ready graphical representations of obtained data, such as:

  • Enrichment plot on single or multiple gene sets;

  • Dotplot on any numerical field, on any set of gene sets;

  • Heatmap on a single gene set;

  • Intersection over union of gene sets with respect to the leading genes;

  • Wordcloud on any textual field, on any set of gene sets.

• Streamline the activity of searching meaningful data amongst the plentiful output of GSEA

• Avoid the, sometimes tedious and error-prone, task of doing post-analyses by writing code, providing a clean GUI that does the same.

On the other hand, GSEACompass doesn't want to replace the official MSigDB GSEA software, but rather be a worthy addition, mostly aimed at speeding up the process of extracting meaningful information from GSEA output.
