From the S3 object returned by the goana() function in limma, is it possible to extract the list of DE genes that are enriched for each GO term (gene lists corresponding to N and DE in the returned data.frame)?

Here's another way if you're only interested in a few GO Terms. Suppose you're interested in GO:0001516. Then

> library(org.Hs.eg.db)
> x <- org.Hs.egGO2ALLEGS
> Rkeys(x) <- "GO:0001516"
> EG <- mappedLkeys(x)
> EG
 [1] "301"    "551"    "552"    "873"    "972"    "1906"   "1907"   "3248"  
 [9] "4282"   "5601"   "5730"   "5740"   "5742"   "5743"   "6916"   "8644"  
[17] "8877"   "9536"   "10728"  "22949"  "23411"  "27306"  "50640"  "80142" 
[25] "127281" "255189"

gives you the Entrez Gene IDs corresponding to N and

> intersect(EG, your.de.list)

gives you Entrez Gene IDs corresponding to DE.

No, I'm pretty sure that information isn't stored in the output. To get it, you'll have to do something like this:

# Basic set-up:
DB <- paste("org", species, "eg", "db", sep = ".")
require(DB, character.only = TRUE)
GO2ALLEGS <- paste("org", species, "egGO2ALLEGS", sep = ".")
EG.GO <- AnnotationDbi::toTable(get(GO2ALLEGS))
d <- duplicated(EG.GO[, c("gene_id", "go_id", "Ontology")])
EG.GO <- EG.GO[!d, ]

# Now choosing DE genes for each GO ID/Ontology combination:
de.by.go <- split(EG.GO$gene_id, paste(EG.GO$go_id, EG.GO$Ontology, sep="."))
de.by.go <- lapply(de.by.go, FUN=function(x) { x[x %in% de] })

I'm assuming you have some species identifier in species, and a vector of Entrez Gene IDs in de. I'm also assuming that you haven't set universe in your original call to goana.

Hello Aaron- yes, species = H.s., vector of Entrez Gene IDs for de, and universe not set in call to goana. I'll give your code a try. Thanks for your prompt help! Carl.

Hi Aaron,

I am also trying to extract a list of DE genes from my GO term analysis. However, I am quite new to using R and I don't completely follow your code/ cannot make it work. Would it be possible to break it down a bit more?

Really hope you can help me out!

Thanks, Lotte

  1. This post is 3 years old. Start a new post if you have a new question.
  2. Try reading the documentation. ?duplicated, ?toTable, ?split, etc.
  3. I'm not psychic, I can't know what you don't understand if you don't mention it.
