Upload Background Gene-List to Enrichr

Source: R/enrichr.R
rba_enrichr_add_background.Rd

In addition to the main gene list, you can also submit a background gene list to Enrichr. This gene list can be used later to compute the statistics of the enrichment analysis.

Usage

rba_enrichr_add_background(background_genes, ...)

Arguments

background_genes

A character vector of Entrez gene symbols of the background genes.

...

rbioapi option(s). See rba_options's arguments manual for more information on available options.

Value

A list with the unique IDs for your uploaded background gene list.

Details

Please note that rba_enrichr provides a one-step and more convenient way to automatically handle this and other required function calls needed to perform gene set enrichment analysis with Enrichr.
