Hello, 

In the tutorial for clusterProfiler, it mentions that the universal enricher function can be combined with the biological theme compareCluster function:

"The comparison function was designed as a framework for comparing gene clusters of any kind of ontology associations, not onlygroupGO, enrichGO, enrichKEGG and enricher provided in this package, but also other biological and biomedical ontologies"

I have used enricher on MSigDB .gmt files that I downloaded and it works great. I am stuck on how to combine enricher with compareCluster. 

- Should I run enricher separately, and then somehow pass those results to compareCluster?

- Or can the enricher call be included as an argument to compareCluster?

- Or are both of those wrong?! 

If you have an example I would greatly appreciate it. Because of my Mac OS, I am stuck using:

R 3.3, Bioconductor 3.2, ClusterProfiler 2.4.3

Thank you for creating and sharing clusterProfiler ! The compatibility with so many types of ontologies and the visual enhancements over other ontology tools are wonderful!

you can pass fun='enricher' to compareCluster and it works in a similar way of passing fun='enrichGO' or fun='enrichKEGG'.

BTW: you need to upgrade Bioconductor and clusterProfiler
