This function which will retrieve the enrichment results of your supplied gene-list id against one or multiple Enrichr libraries.

Usage

rba_enrichr_enrich(
  user_list_id,
  gene_set_library = "all",
  regex_library_name = TRUE,
  organism = "human",
  progress_bar = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

user_list_id

An ID returned to you after uploading a gene list using rba_enrichr_add_list

gene_set_library

One of the:

  1. "all" to select all of the available Enrichr gene-set libraries.

  2. A gene-set library name existed in the results retrieved via rba_enrichr_libs

  3. If regex_library_name = TRUE, A partially-matching name a regex pattern that correspond to one or more of Enrichr library names.

regex_library_name

logical: if TRUE (default) the supplied gene_set_library will be regarded as a regex or partially matching name. if FALSE, gene_set_library will be considered exact match.

organism

(default = "human") Which model organism version of Enrichr to use? Available options are: "human", (H. sapiens & M. musculus), "fly" (D. melanogaster), "yeast" (S. cerevisiae), "worm" (C. elegans) and "fish" (D. rerio).

progress_bar

logical: In case of selecting multiple Enrichr libraries, should a progress bar be displayed?

...

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

Value

A list containing data frames of the enrichment results of your supplied gene-list against the selected Enrichr libraries.

Details

Note that using rba_enrichr is a more convenient way to automatically perform this and other required function calls to perform enrichment analysis on your input gene-set.
