Thinking... We need to examine the article for details about how pathway enrichment analysis was conducted. Let's locate relevant parts. We saw in Results, they mention "Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was used to gain insights into the degree to which the different cell lines showed signs of differentiation." They refer to Supplementary Fig 168. Also earlier: "The top 10 categories in the overall GO list for all cell lines included developmental process, ectoderm development, cell differentiation, mesoderm development, and cell signaling pathways. Based on this outcome, we analyzed the relative expressions of 27 genes linked to early embryonic differentiation^[169]50,[170]51 (Fig. [171]7b). The pESCLC-primary and pESCLC-F group were again widely separated from the others, largely due to the high expression of genes associated with..." Also: "We next focused on DEGs linked to seven major signaling pathways (Fig. [172]7c)^[173]51,[174]52." And they talk about DEGs. For pathway enrichment, they used GO analysis; likely using Gene Ontology. We need to check Methods for explicit mention of pathway enrichment analysis. Let's search text for "enrichment" maybe. The Methods text given earlier doesn't include the phrase "enrichment". Let's read the Methods again thoroughly: - Cell lines, culture media, etc. No mention of enrichment. - Teratoma generation and histology: not relevant. - Western blotting: not relevant. - Immunofluorescence: not relevant. - RT-PCR: not relevant. - RNA sequencing and data processing: describes mapping, but no mention of enrichment. - Statistical analysis: mentions "Statistical significance was tested by Student's t-test with the data presented as mean ± SD, unless otherwise indicated. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001." No mention of enrichment. Where else could enrichment analysis be described? Perhaps in the Results section when they talk about GO enrichment analysis. In the Results section, they say: "Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was used to gain insights into the degree to which the different cell lines showed signs of differentiation. (Supplementary Fig. [168]3). The top 10 categories in the overall GO list for all cell lines included developmental process, ectoderm development, cell differentiation, mesoderm development, and cell signaling pathways." They also mention earlier: "We also compared the cell lines by hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes (DEGs; fold change ≥ 3, adjusted p ≤ 0.05) (Supplementary Fig. [165]2 and Supplementary Table [166]5)." But that's for DEGs. So the only enrichment analysis they performed was GO enrichment analysis. They didn't mention a specific tool, but likely used some enrichment tool. We need to examine whether the article explicitly mentions a tool like DAVID, GSEA, Enrichr, etc. Let's search for words like "DAVID", "GSEA", "Enrichr", "Reactome", "MSigDB", "KEGG". Scrolling through the text: I saw no mention of DAVID or GSEA. In the Results: "Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was used to gain insights into the degree to which the different cell lines showed signs of differentiation." They didn't mention a specific tool. Possibly they used "gProfiler" or "DAVID", but not mentioned. Thus: Tool: Not described. But maybe they used "R" packages like "clusterProfiler". Let's search for "clusterProfiler". The article does not mention clusterProfiler. In Supplementary Table 5 maybe. But not described. Thus: For "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?": Not described. "Was enrichment tool version(s) described?": Not described. "Which gene set libraries were used?": GO is mentioned explicitly. Also they mention "27 genes linked to early embryonic differentiation" but not a library. But the phrase "Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis" indicates GO as the gene set library. So: Gene set library: Gene Ontology. Do they describe a custom or specific background gene list for enrichment analysis? They didn't mention any background list. So "Not described" or "No"? According to options: Yes, No or Not described. Since not mentioned, "Not described". Statistical test(s) used: For GO enrichment, likely hypergeometric test. But not stated. The article says: "Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was used to gain insights into the degree to which the different cell lines showed signs of differentiation." It doesn't say which test. Thus: "Not described" for statistical test. Multiple testing correction? They didn't mention FDR, etc. So "Not described". But check if they mention "adjusted p" or "false discovery rate" in context of enrichment. They say "DEGs; fold change≥3, adjusted p≤0.05" but that's for differential expression, not for enrichment. So no mention of correction for enrichment. Thus final table: Provide columns: Tool, Version, Gene set library, Custom background list? (Yes/No/Not described), Statistical test, FDR applied. We might need to mention "Not described" for each. Let's double-check if there is mention of "gProfiler", "Enrichr", "DAVID", "GSEA" somewhere. Search: I saw no such words. I will re-read the results section near the GO part: "Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was used to gain insights into the degree to which the different cell lines showed signs of differentiation. (Supplementary Fig. [168]3). The top 10 categories in the overall GO list for all cell lines included developmental process, ectoderm development, cell differentiation, mesoderm development, and cell signaling pathways. Based on this outcome, we analyzed the relative expressions of 27 genes linked to early embryonic differentiation^[169]50,[170]51 (Fig. [171]7b)." So GO is used. They didn't mention a specific enrichment tool. So "Tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" The article only says "Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis" but does not mention which tool. So answer "Not described" for tool. Thus: - Tool: Not described - Version: Not described - Gene set libraries: Gene Ontology - Custom background: Not described - Statistical tests: Not described - Multiple testing correction: Not described But the instruction: If more than one tool, list all. Since tool not described, no tool. But we still need to answer 6 questions. For the first, list all tools used explicitly. None. So answer "Not described". For second: "Were enrichment tool version(s) described?" Not described. Third: gene set libraries: Gene Ontology. Fourth: Custom background list? Not described. Fifth: Statistical tests? Not described. Sixth: Multiple testing correction? Not described. Thus table with rows: Tool, Version, Gene set libraries, Custom background list? (Yes/No/Not described), Statistical test(s), Multiple testing correction. But maybe we should produce table with columns: Question, Answer. But instruction: Provide output in table format. Let's produce a table with columns: Question, Answer. But there are 6 questions. We can produce each row per question. Alternatively produce a table with each row being each answer. Format can be: | Question | Answer | |---|---| | Tool used for pathway enrichment analysis? | Not described | | Were enrichment tool version(s) described? | Not described | | Which gene set libraries were used? | Gene Ontology | | Custom or specific background gene list used? | Not described | | Which statistical test(s) were used? | Not described | | Multiple testing correction applied? | Not described | But the instructions: "If more than one tool, method, or database is used, list all of them separately." In this case only one library. Thus table as above. Let's double-check if they used any other enrichment like "Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA)". I don't see mention of GSEA. They only mention GO enrichment. Thus final answer accordingly. ...done thinking. | Question | Answer | |---|---| | Tool used for pathway enrichment analysis? | Not described | | Were enrichment tool version(s) described? | Not described | | Which gene set libraries were used? | Gene Ontology | | Custom/background gene list used for enrichment analysis? | Not described | | Which statistical test(s) were used in enrichment analysis? | Not described | | Multiple testing correction/FDR applied to enrichment analysis? | Not described |
