Hello, I ran a topGO enrichement on my RNAseq data, the output looks:

        GO.ID                                        Term Annotated Significant Expected classicFisher

Example: the first line shows 406 annotated and 21 significant genes.

According to the vignette, the topGO “sigGenes()” function appears to retrieve only the annotated genes. Here it fetches the 406 annoted genes’IDs.

The vignette then proposes to use the “printGenes()” function, but “only when the chip used has an annotation package available in Bioconductor”.

Here we are working on Prunus persicae with no available package. So, how can we get the 21 significant genes IDs in my example?

Many thanks in advance.

I am answering my own question (in case it will help someone later). :-)

I found the solution from other topics elsewhere (https://support.bioconductor.org/p/65856/ and https://www.biostars.org/p/239032/ ).

A simple way is to re-use the “genesOfInterest” list created earlier in the topGO pipeline i.e. here:

geneListTemp <- read.csv("Diff_Express_Genes_liste.csv",header=TRUE) 
genesOfInterest <- geneListTemp[,1]

Later, according to the topGO vignette, we do:

topGO_results <- GenTable(myGOdata, etc… )

And finally with the following statement, we can produce the list of significant genes IDS for each significant GO node highlighted via GenTable():

topGO_results$genes <- sapply(topGO_results$GO.ID, function(x)
{
  genes<-genesInTerm(myGOdata, x) 
  genes[[1]][genes[[1]] %in% genesOfInterest]
})
View(topGO_results)

And these last lines will produce a nice looking CVS table !

topGO_results$genes = as.character(topGO_results$genes)
topGO_results$genes <- gsub("[c()]","",topGO_results$genes)
topGO_results$genes <- gsub("[)]","",topGO_results$genes)
topGO_results$genes <- gsub("[\"]","",topGO_results$genes)
topGO_results <- as.data.frame(topGO_results)
write.csv(topGO_results, file = "out.csv")

Best.
