Thinking... We need to extract explicit details. Let's parse Methods section for pathway enrichment. From "Data acquisition and statistical analyses" section, after differential antigens, they say: "Differentially reactive antigens were determined using class comparison analyses ...". Then they did "Differentially reactive protein names were submitted and analyzed with Ingenuity ([156] https://www.qiagen.com/ingenuity) using Global Canonical Pathways (GCP) tool, which utilize right‑tailed Fisher’s exact test for p‑value calculations." Then "Pathway‑commons analyses were implemented in Webgestalt (Web‑based Gene‑set Analysis Toolkit; [157] http://webgestalt.org) [[158]69, [159]70, [160]71], which incorporate various tools different from Ingenuity. Webgestalt uses hypergeometric test for enrichment analyses and for each analysis the top 10 most significant categories were selected (as at least 2 proteins per category)." Then they used "Molecular Signature Database (MSigDB) within GSEA, where oncogenic and immunologic signatures were tested". Also they did cytogenetic mapping (enrichment) analysis was performed in GSEA, then UCSC table browser and Genome graph tools were used to illustrate genomic locations. For KEGG and Reactome, Interpro, String they used String database or through Reactome website. Let's compile. Tools used explicitly: Ingenuity (with version?), Webgestalt, GSEA, KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, String? The question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" We list all tools or software packages used for enrichment analysis. Not preprocessing only. So: - Ingenuity (probably Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, version 4.2.1? Wait that's BRB? Let's search. They mention "BRB‑Array Tools 4.2.1" earlier for differential expression. That's not for enrichment. They mention "Ingenuity" but no version number. The version may not be described. They mention "Pathway‑commons analyses were implemented in Webgestalt". So Tools: Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. For KEGG and Reactome and Interpro they use String for analysis? Actually they used String for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, protein-protein interactions. They also used Reactome website for visualization. But for enrichment analysis, KEGG and Reactome were used via String? Actually they used String for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro. In Methods: "For KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes), Reactome, Interpro protein domain-based functional classification and protein-protein interactions analysis and visualization we have utilized String (Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins; [164] https://string-db.org/) protein interaction database or through Reactome website ([165] https://reactome.org)". So they used String to get KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, and maybe also interactions. But the analysis of KEGG and Reactome was done via String? Actually String has functional enrichment as well? Let's read: "For KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes), Reactome, Interpro protein domain-based functional classification and protein-protein interactions analysis and visualization we have utilized String ... or through Reactome website." So String used for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro. Also "Global Canonical Pathways (GCP) tool" within Ingenuity used right-tailed Fisher's exact test. "Pathway-commons analyses were implemented in Webgestalt". They used hypergeometric test for enrichment. They selected top 10 categories. They used MSigDB within GSEA for oncogenic and immunologic signatures. They performed cytogenetic mapping enrichment analysis using GSEA, then UCSC. Now let's answer each question: 1. What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis? List all tools or software packages explicitly mentioned: Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (Ingenuity), Webgestalt, GSEA, KEGG, Reactome, Interpro? Wait the question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?: List all tools or software packages used for enrichment analysis." So we list Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. Also maybe String? But String is used for protein-protein interactions analysis, but also used for KEGG/Reactome analysis? It's used for KEGG and Reactome functional classification and interactions. But the statement "For KEGG, Reactome, Interpro protein domain-based functional classification and protein-protein interactions analysis and visualization we have utilized String" means they used String to perform analysis for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro? But this is not strictly pathway enrichment; it's functional classification? KEGG and Reactome are gene set libraries used. But the question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis? List all tools or software packages used for enrichment analysis." The authors explicitly mention Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. They also mention "String" but for protein-protein interactions. However, they also used String for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, etc. But is String used for pathway enrichment? It can do functional enrichment as well? The description says "String ... protein interaction database or through Reactome website." So they used String for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, protein-protein interactions. But the term "functional classification" might be considered enrichment? They mention "For KEGG, Reactome, Interpro protein domain-based functional classification and protein-protein interactions analysis and visualization we have utilized String". That's a functional classification; could be considered enrichment? It's unclear. But the question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" The article describes enrichment via Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA, KEGG, Reactome, Interpro via String. So list Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. Also String? It's used for KEGG/Reactome/Interpro functional classification; may be considered enrichment. The safe answer: List all tools: Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. They also used KEGG, Reactome via String. But the question about tool: explicitly mention for enrichment analysis. They mention Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. They also mention "String" but as a database for protein-protein interactions and functional classification. But the question says "List all tools or software packages used (e.g., DAVID, GSEA, Enrichr, etc.) that are explicitly mentioned in the article for enrichment analysis. Do not include tools used only for preprocessing (e.g., Salmon)." So String is a database, not a tool for enrichment per se? It's a tool to retrieve interactions. They use String to analyze KEGG, Reactome, Interpro. That could be considered enrichment analysis. It's functional classification of domains. I'd list String as a tool used for enrichment. Also they used Reactome website? They might not need to specify tool for Reactome? They used the website for visualization. But not for analysis. Thus we list: Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), Webgestalt, GSEA, String. 2. Were enrichment tool version(s) described? For Ingenuity, they didn't mention version. For Webgestalt, no version. For GSEA, no version. For String, no version. So "Not described". 3. Which gene set libraries were used? They used KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, MSigDB (oncogenic and immunologic signatures). They also used curation "Gene set libraries" - The article also mentions "Gene ontology"? Not present. So list KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, MSigDB. Also "Global Canonical Pathways" uses "Ingenuity Knowledge Base". They didn't specify gene set library. So we include Ingenuity's knowledge base? The question: Identify all gene set libraries or databases the authors queried (e.g., GO, KEGG, Reactome, MSigDB, etc.). Only include what's actually stated. So "Ingenuity" is a database; but they might use it as enrichment. So include Ingenuity. Also "String" uses multiple sources but it's not a gene set library. So we list: Ingenuity, KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, MSigDB. 4. Does article describe using a custom or specific background gene list for enrichment analysis? Options Yes/No/Not described. They say: "In each analysis, as background proteins (i.e. random entries), we have used all annotated proteins presented on the 16k protein microarray; except for cytogenetic map analyses (GSEA) where the whole human genome (as gene‑positions) was applied (Genome Reference Consortium Human Build 38)." That applies to cytogenetic mapping. For enrichment analysis, they used all annotated proteins on the array as background. So Yes, they used a custom background list. But we need to answer "Does the article describe using a custom or specific background gene list for enrichment analysis? Yes/No/Not described." They did. So "Yes". 5. What statistical test(s) were used in enrichment analysis? For Ingenuity: right-tailed Fisher's exact test. For Webgestalt: hypergeometric test. For GSEA: they used hypergeometric? Wait GSEA uses Kolmogorov-Smirnov? But the article says they used MSigDB within GSEA. But GSEA uses pre-ranked analysis or gene set enrichment analysis algorithm. The article doesn't mention the specific statistical test for GSEA. But we need to include tests linked to enrichment. The only tests explicitly mentioned: Ingenuity uses Fisher's exact test. Webgestalt uses hypergeometric test. So we list those. Also GSEA? The article does not mention the statistical test used by GSEA. So not include. So answer: Fisher's exact test; hypergeometric test. 6. Was multiple testing correction / FDR applied to enrichment analysis? The article mentions p-values for enrichment analyses (p<0.01 etc.). It does not mention correction method like Benjamini-Hochberg. So answer "No". Now produce table with columns: Tool, Version, Gene set libraries, Background gene list used, Statistical test, Multiple testing correction. We need to list each tool separately with its attributes. Let's list rows for each tool: Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. Also String? But it's used for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro. But the question about enrichment tool: "List all tools or software packages used (e.g., DAVID, GSEA, Enrichr, etc.) that are explicitly mentioned in the article for enrichment analysis. Do not include tools used only for preprocessing (e.g., Salmon)." So String is used for protein-protein interactions analysis and for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro. So is that considered enrichment analysis? It's functional classification and interactions. That may be considered enrichment. So we might include String. But is String described as used for enrichment? They used String to do KEGG and Reactome analysis. But the article says: "For KEGG, Reactome, Interpro protein domain-based functional classification and protein–protein interactions analysis and visualization we have utilized String ... or through Reactome website." So String is used for functional classification and interactions, but not for enrichment per se. But they did enrichment for KEGG, Reactome via String? Usually String has enrichment? Actually String can produce a functional enrichment plot? But they used it to analyze KEGG, Reactome. That could be considered enrichment. So maybe include String. Let's check question: "Which tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" They mention Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. They also mention "String" used for KEGG and Reactome. But the method says "For KEGG, Reactome, Interpro protein domain-based functional classification and protein-protein interactions analysis and visualization we have utilized String". That is functional classification but not enrichment? It's not typical enrichment. But it could be considered a kind of enrichment of pathways? It is "KEGG" and "Reactome" analysis. But they didn't mention statistical test used there. They might rely on String's built-in scoring. But they didn't mention the test. So I'd not list String as enrichment tool because the article didn't specify it's used for enrichment. They used String for interactions and functional classification. It's not a typical enrichment analysis tool. So list only Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. But they also used KEGG, Reactome, Interpro for functional classification; but the question about tool: "List all tools or software packages used (e.g., DAVID, GSEA, Enrichr, etc.) that are explicitly mentioned in the article for enrichment analysis." So include GSEA, Webgestalt, Ingenuity. For KEGG/Reactome via String, they used String but not as enrichment tool? Actually it's used for analysis and visualization of KEGG etc. But it might be considered enrichment. Let's include String? The article uses String for KEGG, Reactome, Interpro. But is String considered an enrichment tool? It does functional enrichment via STRING's "functional enrichment" features. But the article states "String (Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins)". They used String for "protein-protein interactions analysis and visualization". That is not enrichment analysis. So we exclude String. Thus only tools: Ingenuity, Webgestalt, GSEA. (GSEA used for MSigDB; Webgestalt used for Pathway Commons; Ingenuity used for GCP.) Now compile the table. Columns: Tool, Version, Gene Set Libraries, Background Gene List, Statistical Test, Multiple Testing Correction Rows: Ingenuity: version? Not described. Gene set libraries: Ingenuity Knowledge Base (Global Canonical Pathways). Background: Yes, they used annotated proteins on the 16k array. Statistical test: Fisher's exact test. Multiple testing correction: Not mentioned? It says "p-values were used" but not FDR. For Ingenuity, they didn't mention multiple testing correction. So "No". Webgestalt: version? Not described. Gene set libraries: Pathway Commons? Wait Webgestalt uses Pathway Commons? It uses hypergeometric test for enrichment. It also selects top 10 categories. Gene set libraries: Pathway Commons categories. It uses hypergeometric test. Background: They used all annotated proteins on the array. So "Yes". Statistical test: hypergeometric test. Multiple testing correction: Not mentioned? It doesn't say. So "No". GSEA: version? Not described. Gene set libraries: MSigDB (oncogenic and immunologic signatures) and GSEA's cytogenetic mapping? It used GSEA to map cytogenetic enrichment. So libraries: MSigDB, GSEA cytogenetic mapping (whole human genome). Background: They used whole human genome positions. For enrichment analyses they used all annotated proteins on array as background. So "Yes". Statistical test: hypergeometric test? Actually GSEA uses pre-ranked gene set enrichment analysis using Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic? But the article says they used "Molecular Signature Database (MSigDB) within GSEA". It does not mention test. But we might treat GSEA as not performing enrichment test? It uses ranking. But the question: "What statistical test(s) were used in enrichment analysis?" The article explicitly says "Ingenuity uses right-tailed Fisher's exact test" and "Webgestalt uses hypergeometric test." GSEA uses Kolmogorov-Smirnov but article didn't mention test. So we include only tests explicitly mentioned: Fisher's exact test, hypergeometric test. So for GSEA, we might say "Not described" for test. But the column asks "What statistical test(s) were used in enrichment analysis?" We need to state name(s). Since they are linked to enrichment analysis. So we can list "Fisher's exact test, hypergeometric test". GSEA uses a different method but not mentioned. So we can just list the tests used for enrichment: Fisher's exact test (Ingenuity), hypergeometric test (Webgestalt). Also GSEA is a method but not a test; but we could list "Kolmogorov-Smirnov" but not mentioned. So "Not described" for GSEA test. Multiple testing correction / FDR applied to enrichment analysis? Not mentioned. So "No". Also background: They used array background for all. So "Yes". Now fill table. Let's produce table with columns: Tool | Version | Gene Set Libraries | Custom Background | Statistical Test | FDR We fill each row for each tool. Rows: Ingenuity | Not described | Ingenuity Knowledge Base (Global Canonical Pathways) | Yes | Fisher's exact test | No Webgestalt | Not described | Pathway Commons (top 10 categories) maybe? but it's a tool, not library. But we can list "Pathway Commons" as library. It says Webgestalt uses various tools different from Ingenuity. They selected top 10 categories. So library: Pathway Commons? It's the database. So "Pathway Commons". Also maybe "KEGG" and "Reactome" are also via String but not Webgestalt. So we list "Pathway Commons" only. Also background: Yes. Test: hypergeometric test. FDR: No. GSEA | Not described | MSigDB (oncogenic and immunologic signatures); cytogenetic mapping using human genome positions (GSEA). So libraries: MSigDB; GSEA cytogenetic mapping uses human genome. Background: Not described for GSEA? They used whole human genome for cytogenetic mapping. For enrichment they used annotated proteins on array as background. So "Yes". Test: Not described. FDR: No. But we also need to answer "Which gene set libraries were used?" We need a separate column that lists all gene set libraries used: KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, MSigDB. Should be a column "Gene Set Libraries Used". So for each tool? The column is not tool-specific; it's general. But table format: we can have rows for each tool, but we need to answer all 6 questions. We can produce a table with 6 rows: one row for each question, each cell containing answer. That's likely what the user wants: "Provide output in table format." So we will have a table with 6 columns? Actually we have 6 questions, each requires answer: 1. Tool, 2. Version, 3. Gene set libraries, 4. Background gene list, 5. Statistical test, 6. Multiple testing correction. Thus we need a table with columns: Question, Answer. Or each row: question number? They want "Please answer the following 6 questions." So table with columns: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6? But each question has single answer. So table could have 6 rows, one column "Question" and another "Answer". But they want "output in table format." We can create table with two columns: "Question" and "Answer". Each row corresponds to each question. That is simpler. But they also say: "If more than one tool, method, or database is used, list all of them separately." So for Q1 we need list all tools separated. For Q2 we need list version numbers. For Q3 we need list all gene set libraries. For others we need simple Yes/No/Not described, tests, FDR. So we can put all info in one answer per question. Thus table: | Question | Answer | |---------|--------| Rows 1-6 accordingly. Let's write: Q1 Tool(s): Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, Webgestalt, GSEA. Q2 Version(s): None described (Not described). Q3 Gene set libraries: KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, MSigDB (oncogenic and immunologic signatures). Also Ingenuity Knowledge Base, Pathway Commons? The question: "Which gene set libraries were used?" We can list: KEGG, Reactome, Interpro, MSigDB. That's fine. Q4 Background gene list used: Yes (custom background of all annotated proteins on 16k array). Q5 Statistical tests used: Fisher's exact test, hypergeometric test. (Ingenuity uses Fisher; Webgestalt uses hypergeometric). Q6 Multiple testing correction / FDR applied: No. We need to mention custom background? For enrichment analysis they used array background. So Yes. Now produce final table. Let's construct: | # | Question | Answer | But answer for Q1: "Ingenuity Pathway Analysis; Webgestalt; GSEA". Answer for Q2: "Not described". Answer for Q3: "KEGG; Reactome; Interpro; MSigDB; Ingenuity Knowledge Base". Answer for Q4: "Yes". Answer for Q5: "Fisher's exact test; hypergeometric test". Answer for Q6: "No". Let's provide that. ...done thinking. | # | Question | Answer | |---|----------|--------| | 1 | **Tool(s) used for pathway enrichment analysis** | Ingenuity Pathway Analysis; Webgestalt; GSEA | | 2 | **Version(s) of each enrichment tool** | Ingenuity – not described; Webgestalt – not described; GSEA – not described | | 3 | **Gene‑set libraries queried** | KEGG; Reactome; InterPro; MSigDB (oncogenic & immunologic signatures) | | 4 | **Custom/background gene list used** | Yes (all annotated proteins on the 16‑k microarray were used as the background set; for cytogenetic mapping GSEA used the entire human genome) | | 5 | **Statistical test(s) used in enrichment** | Fisher’s exact test (Ingenuity); hypergeometric test (Webgestalt) | | 6 | **Multiple‑testing correction / FDR applied** | No |
