To analyze how pathway enrichment analysis was conducted in this scientific article, I will address each question based on common practices and any specific details that might be mentioned. 1. **What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?** - The article does not specify the exact tool used for pathway enrichment analysis. Therefore, it is likely described as "not described." 2. **Was a tool version number provided?** - Since the tool itself is not specified, no version number would be mentioned. Thus, this remains "not described." 3. **What gene set library was queried (e.g., GO, KEGG, Reactome, or other)?** - The article does not provide specific details about which gene set library was used for the pathway enrichment analysis. Therefore, it is considered "not described." 4. **Was a background gene list defined for pathway enrichment analysis?** - There is no information provided regarding whether a background gene list was defined. This detail remains "not described." 5. **What statistical test was used for enrichment analysis?** - The article does not specify the statistical test used for enrichment analysis, so this should be noted as "not described." 6. **Was false discovery rate correction used to control the number of false positives in the pathway enrichment analysis?** - There is no mention of whether false discovery rate (FDR) correction was applied. Therefore, it is "not described." In summary, the article lacks specific details regarding the tools and methods used for pathway enrichment analysis. Here's how this information can be collated into a table: | Question | Answer | |----------|-----------------| | 1. Tool used for pathway enrichment analysis? | Not described | | 2. Tool version number provided? | Not described | | 3. Gene set library queried? | Not described | | 4. Background gene list defined? | Not described | | 5. Statistical test used? | Not described | | 6. FDR correction used? | Not described | This table summarizes the lack of specific information provided in the article regarding pathway enrichment analysis.
