Filter

How the output of GSEA and GSEA Preranked can be filtered to meet your criteria.

The massive output of your analysis can be filter using two functions of GSEACompass interface: the search bar and the significance filters.

On the top-right corner of the tabular result window you can find a search box such as this one.

The search bar

It searchs across every column of the table and accepts regex expression. While typing, the table will change, showing the searched subset of rows for each key pressed.

Significance filters

Two textual fields are located in the top-right part of the window, as shown below.

Significance filtering fields

They filter the rows shown according to the maximum value of either FDR q-val or NOM p-val typed and so accepted. If just one field is filled, the other one won't be used to filter the rows (it's simply ignored).

Keep in mind

It's worth noting that these filtering capabilities of GSEACompass can be used at the same time.

Furthermore, the rows filtered (shown after filtering) are the only ones used to generate plots or export data, that is to say: if you filter the rows, those disappered won't be considered nor shown in plots, neither will they be exported.
