\section{\GeneSet{}}

A \GeneSet{} stores a set of related gene identifiers. Important
components of the gene set are a vector of identifiers, general
descriptive information about the set, and information about how the
gene set was constructed. To construct a gene set, use
\Rfunction{GeneSet}. For example, to create a gene set from the
identifiers in a subset of the sample \Robject{ExpressionSet} in the
Biobase package (see \Rpackage{Biobase} documentation for a
description of expression sets) use
<<GeneSet>>=
data(sample.ExpressionSet) # from Biobase
egs <- GeneSet(sample.ExpressionSet[201:250,], setName="Sample")
egs
@ 
% 
Each gene set may have a name. The gene set contains
\Sexpr{length(geneIds(egs))} identifiers ('genes') from the expression
set. These are accessible using \Rfunction{geneIds}, e.g.,
<<geneIds>>=
head(geneIds(egs))
@ 
% 
The gene set records that the identifiers are probeset names from the
annotation package \Sexpr{annotation(geneIdType(egs))}, and that the source
of the gene set was an expression set. Additional details are
available:
<<details>>=
details(egs)
@ 
%% 
The set identifier, set version, and creation date provide mechanisms
for carefully curating gene sets. Additional information is
automatically copied from the expression set used to create
\Robject{egs}. 

<<>>=

  ## FIXME: GeneSet(AnnotationIdentifier("hgu95av2"),
  ## collectionType=GOCollection()) filters on GOCollection (or KEGG)
@ 

View additional methods for creating gene sets with:
<<GeneSet-methods>>=
showMethods("GeneSet", inherited=FALSE)
@ 
%% 
These are described on the \Rfunction{GeneSet} help page. 

The identifier type of gene sets created from expression sets is
\Sexpr{as.character(class(geneIdType(egs)))}. Additional predefined
identifiers are available:
<<GeneIdentifierTypes>>=
names(slot(getClass("GeneIdentifierType"), "subclasses"))
@ 
%% 
It is possible to map between identifier types (provided the
corresponding map in the annotation package exists):
<<mapIdentifiers>>=
mapIdentifiers(egs, EntrezIdentifier())
@ 
%% 
\Rfunction{mapIdentifiers} consults the gene set to determine that
annotation (probeset) identifiers are to be converted to Entrez IDs
using the \Robject{hgu95av2ENTREZID} environment in the
\Rcode{hgu95av2.db} (or \Rcode{hgu95av2})
package. \Rfunction{mapIdentifiers} can automatically determine many
of the common maps; it is also possible to provide as a third argument
an environment containing an arbitrary map. Use the
\Rfunction{verbose} argument of \Rmethod{mapIdentifiers} to be
informed when the map between identifier types is not 1:1.

A gene set can be created with different types of identifier, e.g., to
create a gene set with Entrez IDs, use
<<GeneSet_Identifiers>>=
eids <- unique(getEG(geneIds(egs), "hgu95av2"))
eids <- eids[!is.na(eids)]
GeneSet(EntrezIdentifier(), geneIds=as.character(eids))
@ 

The \Rmethod{collectionType} of a gene set provides additional
information about a gene set. Available collection types are
<<CollectionType>>=
names(slot(getClass("CollectionType"), "subclasses"))
@ 
%% 
Collection types are most important when creating gene sets. For
instance, the \GOCollection{} class allows creation of gene sets based
on gene ontology (GO) terms. The following command creates a gene set
from two terms, including all genes with a particular evidence code. 
<<GOCollection>>=
GeneSet(GOCollection(c("GO:0005488", "GO:0019825"),
                     evidenceCode="IDA"),
        geneIdType=EntrezIdentifier("org.Hs.eg.db"),
        setName="Sample GO Collection")
@ 
%% 
This creates a gene set by consulting an object in the
\Rpackage{GO.db} package. A gene set created from an expression set, and
with collection type \Robject{GOCollection()} consults
the appropriate environment in the annotation package associated with
the expression set. 

Gene sets encoded in XML following the schema and
conventions of the Broad Institute can be read into \R{} as follows:
<<Broad>>=
fl <- system.file("extdata", "Broad1.xml", package="GSEABase")
bgs <- GeneSet(BroadCollection(), urls=fl)
bgs
@ 
%% 
The example above uses a local file, but the source for the gene set
might also be a web address accessible via the \Rcode{http://}
protocol. The file name is added to the url of the gene set. The set
name and category of the Broad collection indicate that the gene set
contains gene symbols from band 24 of the q arm of chromosome 16. The
probe sets in chip \Rcode{hgu95av2} corresponding to these symbols can
be determined by mapping identifiers
<<Broad-to-annotation>>=
bgs1 <- mapIdentifiers(bgs, AnnotationIdentifier("hgu95av2"))
bgs1
@ 
%% 

Subsetting creates sets with just the symbols identified. Subsetting
can use indices or symbol names.
<<subset>>=
bgs[1:5]
bgs[c("GALNS", "LOC646365")]
@ 
%% 

Logical operations provide a convenient way to identify genes with
particular properties. For instance, the intersection
<<egs-bgs>>=
egs & bgs1
@ 
%% 
is empty (note that the identifiers in the two sets were of the same
type), indicating that none of the identifiers in \Robject{egs} are on
\Rcode{16q24}. Additional operations on sets include union (performed
with \Rfunction{|}) and difference (\Rfunction{setdiff}).

Methods exist to directly subset expression sets using gene sets
<<subset-ExpressionSet>>=
sample.ExpressionSet[bgs,]
@ 
%% 
Remember that \Robject{sample.ExpressionSet} contains just
\Sexpr{nrow(sample.ExpressionSet)} probe sets, so the small size of the
subset is not surprising. Note also that subsetting required mapping
of symbol identifiers in \Robject{bgs} to \AnnotationIdentifier{}s;
this map used the annotation information in the expression set,
and is not necessarily 1:1.

\section{\GeneColorSet{}}

A \GeneColorSet{} is a gene set with ``coloring'' to indicate how
features of genes and phenotypes are associated. The following sample
data describes how changes in expression levels of several genes (with
Entrez and Symbol names) influence cisplatin resistance phenotype.
<<GeneColorSet-setup,echo=false,results=hide>>=
conn <- textConnection("
Entrez ID, Gene Symbol, Expression level, Phenotype response
##used to be MRP2
1244, ABCC2, Increase, Resistant
538, ATP7A, Increase, Resistant
540, ATP7B, Increase, Resistant
9961, MVP, Increase, Resistant
##the LRP below must be MVP
##LRP, Increase, Resistant - need to know which one
7507,XPA, Increase, Resistant
2067, ERCC1, Increase, Resistant
##TOP, Increase, Resistant  - need to know which one, notes say II
672, BRCA1, Increase, Resistant
3725, JUN, Increase, Resistant
#GCS, Increase, Resistant  - my notes say alpha-GCS - so which one?
##I only found gamma at PubMed as being related
2730, GCLM, Increase, Resistant")
tbl <- read.csv(conn, strip.white=TRUE,comment.char="#")
close(conn); unlink(conn)
@ 
<<GeneColorSet-phenotype>>=
tbl
@ 
%% 
Note that three different aspects of data influence coloring: the
phenotype under consideration (cisplatin resistance), whether
expression responses refer to increasing or decreasing levels of
gene expression, and whether the phenotypic response represents
greater resistance or sensitivity to cisplatin. Here is the resulting
gene color set:
<<GeneColorSet-constructor>>=
gcs <- GeneColorSet(EntrezIdentifier(),
                    setName="A color set",
                    geneIds=as.character(tbl$Entrez.ID),
                    phenotype="Cisplatin resistance",
                    geneColor=tbl$Expression.level,
                    phenotypeColor=tbl$Phenotype.response)
gcs
@ 
%% 
Gene color sets can be used in the same way as gene sets, e.g., for
subsetting expression sets (provided the map between identifiers is
1:1, so that coloring corresponding to identifiers can be
determined). The \Rmethod{coloring} method allows access to the coloring
information with a data frame interface; \Rmethod{phenotype},
\Rmethod{geneColor} and \Rmethod{phenotypeColor} provide additional
accessors.

\section{\GeneSetCollection{}}

A \GeneSetCollection{} is a collection of gene sets. Sets in the
collection must have distinct \Rmethod{setName}s, but can be a mix of
\GeneSet{} and \GeneColorSet{}. Two convenient ways to create a gene
set collection are by specifying a source of identifiers (e.g., an
\ExpressionSet{} or \AnnotationIdentifier{}) and how the identifiers
are to be induced into sets (e.g., by consulting the GO or KEGG
ontologies):
<<GeneSetCollection>>=
gsc <- GeneSetCollection(sample.ExpressionSet[201:250,], setType=GOCollection())
gsc
gsc[["GO:0005737"]]
@ 
%% 
In this example, the annotation identifiers of the sample expression
set are organized into gene sets based on their presence in GO
pathways. Providing arguments such as \Rmethod{evidenceCode} to
\GOCollection{} act to select just those pathways satisfying the GO
collection constraint:
<<GeneSetCollection-GOCollection>>=
GeneSetCollection(sample.ExpressionSet[201:300,],
                  setType=GOCollection(evidenceCode="IMP"))
@ 
%% 
Sets in the collection are named after the GO terms, and can be
accessed by numeric index or name.

A file or url containing several gene sets defined by Broad XML can be
used to create a gene set collection, e.g.,
<<GeneSetCollection-BroadCollection>>=
  ## FIXME: BroadCollection default to paste("c", 1:4, sep="")
  ## FIXME: GeneSetCollection(BroadCollection(), urls=fl); filters on bcCategory
fl <- system.file("extdata", "Broad.xml", package="GSEABase")
gss <- getBroadSets(fl)
gss
names(gss)
@ 

Identifiers within a gene set collection can be mapped to a common
type (provided maps are available) with, for example,
<<mapIds-GeneSetCollection>>=
gsc <- mapIdentifiers(gsc, EntrezIdentifier())
gsc
gsc[["GO:0005737"]]
@ 
%% 

This concludes a brief tour of gene sets and gene set collections
available in the \Rpackage{GSEABase} package.
