`fgsea` is an R-package for fast preranked gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). 
This package allows to quickly and accurately calculate arbitrarily low GSEA P-values for a collection of gene sets.
P-value estimation is based on an adaptive multi-level split Monte-Carlo scheme. See the [preprint](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/060012v2) for algorithmic details. 

## Loading necessary libraries

```{r message=FALSE}
library(fgsea)
library(data.table)
library(ggplot2)
```

```{r echo=FALSE}
library(BiocParallel)
register(SerialParam())
```

## Quick run

Loading example pathways and gene-level statistics and setting random seed:
```{r}
data(examplePathways)
data(exampleRanks)
set.seed(42)
```

Running fgsea:
```{r}
fgseaRes <- fgsea(pathways = examplePathways, 
                  stats    = exampleRanks,
                  minSize  = 15,
                  maxSize  = 500)
```

The resulting table contains enrichment scores and p-values:
```{r}
head(fgseaRes[order(pval), ])
```

As you can see from the warning, `fgsea` has a default lower bound `eps=1e-10` for estimating P-values. If you need to estimate P-value more accurately, you can set the `eps` argument to zero in the `fgsea` function.
```{r}
fgseaRes <- fgsea(pathways = examplePathways, 
                  stats    = exampleRanks,
                  eps      = 0.0,
                  minSize  = 15,
                  maxSize  = 500)

head(fgseaRes[order(pval), ])
```


One can make an enrichment plot for a pathway:
```{r, fig.width=7, fig.height=4}
plotEnrichment(examplePathways[["5991130_Programmed_Cell_Death"]],
               exampleRanks) + labs(title="Programmed Cell Death")

```

Or make a table plot for a bunch of selected pathways:
```{r, fig.width=7, fig.height=8, fig.retina=2}
topPathwaysUp <- fgseaRes[ES > 0][head(order(pval), n=10), pathway]
topPathwaysDown <- fgseaRes[ES < 0][head(order(pval), n=10), pathway]
topPathways <- c(topPathwaysUp, rev(topPathwaysDown))
plotGseaTable(examplePathways[topPathways], exampleRanks, fgseaRes, 
              gseaParam=0.5)
```

From the plot above one can see that there are very similar pathways in the table (for example `5991502_Mitotic_Metaphase_and_Anaphase` and `5991600_Mitotic_Anaphase`). To select only
independent pathways one can use `collapsePathways` function:

```{r, fig.width=7, fig.height=8, fig.retina=2, warning=FALSE}
collapsedPathways <- collapsePathways(fgseaRes[order(pval)][padj < 0.01], 
                                      examplePathways, exampleRanks)
mainPathways <- fgseaRes[pathway %in% collapsedPathways$mainPathways][
                         order(-NES), pathway]
plotGseaTable(examplePathways[mainPathways], exampleRanks, fgseaRes, 
              gseaParam = 0.5)
```

To save the results in a text format `data:table::fwrite` function can be used:

```{r message=FALSE}
fwrite(fgseaRes, file="fgseaRes.txt", sep="\t", sep2=c("", " ", ""))
```

To make leading edge more human-readable it can be converted using `mapIdsList` (similar to `AnnotationDbi::mapIds`) 
function and a corresponding database (here `org.Mm.eg.db` for mouse):

```{r message=FALSE}
library(org.Mm.eg.db)
fgseaResMain <- fgseaRes[match(mainPathways, pathway)]
fgseaResMain[, leadingEdge := mapIdsList(
                                     x=org.Mm.eg.db, 
                                     keys=leadingEdge,
                                     keytype="ENTREZID", 
                                     column="SYMBOL")]
fwrite(fgseaResMain, file="fgseaResMain.txt", sep="\t", sep2=c("", " ", ""))
```

## Performance considerations

Also, `fgsea` is parallelized using `BiocParallel` package. 
By default the first registered backend returned by `bpparam()` is 
used. To tweak the parallelization one can either specify `BPPARAM`
parameter used for `bplapply` of set `nproc` parameter, which is 
a shorthand for setting `BPPARAM=MulticoreParam(workers = nproc)`.

## Using Reactome pathways

For convenience there is `reactomePathways` function that obtains pathways
from Reactome for given set of genes. Package `reactome.db` is required
to be installed.

```{r message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
pathways <- reactomePathways(names(exampleRanks))
fgseaRes <- fgsea(pathways, exampleRanks, maxSize=500)
head(fgseaRes)
```

## Starting from files

One can also start from `.rnk` and `.gmt` files as in original GSEA:

```{r}
rnk.file <- system.file("extdata", "naive.vs.th1.rnk", package="fgsea")
gmt.file <- system.file("extdata", "mouse.reactome.gmt", package="fgsea")
```

Loading ranks:

```{r}
ranks <- read.table(rnk.file,
                    header=TRUE, colClasses = c("character", "numeric"))
ranks <- setNames(ranks$t, ranks$ID)
str(ranks)
```

Loading pathways:

```{r}
pathways <- gmtPathways(gmt.file)
str(head(pathways))
```

And runnig fgsea:

```{r warning=FALSE}
fgseaRes <- fgsea(pathways, ranks, minSize=15, maxSize=500)
head(fgseaRes)
```
