Thinking... We need to answer 6 questions: 1. What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis? List all tools or software packages explicitly mentioned for enrichment analysis. From methods: "Functional Enrichment Analysis" paragraph: Genes were annotated with information from Gene Ontology (GO) ... The Gene Ontology, biological processes/functions were used for the generation of ‘migo_bp’ annotations, and Gene Ontology pathways was the source of curated ‘migo_pathways’. The results are displayed in a bar chart. For an assessment of the true enrichment of a category, Fisher’s exact test with Benjamini–Hochberg correction was applied. Values of P ≤ 0.05 indicate significance relative to background. Moreover, statistical software R-3.4.1 with additional package forestplot_1.7.2 was used to create Fig. 4. R-package piano_1.16.4 was applied for KEGG enrichment analysis based on Fisher’s exact test and curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB. KEGG pathway plots were generated using the “User data mapping” tool on the KEGG website. Thus enrichment tools: R-3.4.1 with forestplot_1.7.2 (though that's for plotting, not enrichment). But they used R package "piano_1.16.4" for KEGG enrichment. Also they used "KEGG" website for mapping. For GO enrichment, they likely used R with Fisher test; but they didn't name a specific package; but they might have used R's built-in functions? They mention "Gene Ontology, biological processes/functions" used for generating 'migo_bp' annotations, and "Gene Ontology pathways" source of curated 'migo_pathways'. Could refer to Agilent's 'GeneSpring' or 'Rosetta' but not clear. But it's "functional enrichment analysis" using GO and KEGG. Tools explicitly mentioned: R-3.4.1 (statistical software), R package piano_1.16.4, and the KEGG website 'User data mapping' tool. Also maybe "forestplot" for plotting. Also earlier: "Functional enrichment analysis" they used "R-3.4.1 (https://www.R-project.org) with additional package forestplot_1.7.2." And "R-package piano_1.16.4" for KEGG enrichment. They also mention "piano_1.16.4" used for KEGG enrichment analysis based on Fisher’s exact test and curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB. So we have two enrichment tools: R package piano (v1.16.4) and the KEGG website. Possibly also the 'Rosetta Resolver' but that was for microarray analysis. Thus list tools: R (version 3.4.1), R package piano (v1.16.4), KEGG website "User data mapping" tool. The 'forestplot' is for plotting, not enrichment; but may be considered part of analysis, but not for enrichment per se. Also earlier: "For an assessment of the true enrichment of a category, Fisher’s exact test with Benjamini–Hochberg correction." That was likely performed via R or the Agilent analysis, but no package named. Could also be "Agilent's Rosetta" or "Rosetta Resolver" performing enrichment? But not explicitly stated. Thus answer: Tools used for pathway enrichment: piano_1.16.4, KEGG User data mapping tool, R-3.4.1 (for statistical tests and plotting). Possibly also "R package forestplot" but not enrichment. 2. Were enrichment tool version(s) described? Provide version numbers. For piano: 1.16.4. For R: 3.4.1. For forestplot: 1.7.2. For KEGG website, no version. 3. Which gene set libraries were used? GO, KEGG, MSigDB (curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB). Also "Gene Ontology, biological processes/functions" (GO BP) and "Gene Ontology pathways" for 'migo_pathways' (so GO terms). So libraries: Gene Ontology Biological Process, Gene Ontology Pathway, KEGG pathways from MSigDB. Might also mention "Migo" but that's just annotation names. Also in results, they refer to "Reactome" or "MSigDB" not explicitly; but they used curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB. Thus list gene set libraries: Gene Ontology (GO) Biological Process (migo_bp), Gene Ontology Pathways (migo_pathways), KEGG pathways curated from MSigDB. 4. Does the article describe using a custom or specific background gene list? They said: "Values of P ≤ 0.05 indicate a significant enrichment relative to the background (whole gene sets with corresponding Entrez-IDs of the Agilent 8×60K Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray) of the respective category". That suggests background is the entire Agilent array gene set. They didn't say "custom background". So option: Yes (they used the array background). But the question asks: "Does the article describe using a custom or specific background gene list for enrichment analysis?" Options Yes, No, Not described. They explicitly mention background is the whole gene sets of the Agilent array. So Yes. 5. What statistical test(s) were used in enrichment analysis? They used Fisher’s exact test (hypergeometric test equivalent) for GO and KEGG enrichment. For GO they mention "Fisher’s exact test with Benjamini–Hochberg correction." For KEGG they say "based on Fisher’s exact test and curated KEGG gene sets". So answer: Fisher’s exact test. 6. Was multiple testing correction/FDR applied? They mention Benjamini–Hochberg correction. So Yes. Thus we need output table with columns: Tool, Version, Gene Set Libraries, Custom Background? (Yes/No/Not described), Statistical Test, Multiple Testing Correction. We need to list each tool separately. So row for R-3.4.1 (but that is software; not specifically enrichment tool). But they used piano as enrichment. So maybe list two rows: piano (v1.16.4) and KEGG User Data Mapping tool (no version). But the question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?: 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 we need to list all tools for enrichment. That includes R package piano, KEGG website tool. The forestplot is for plotting; but may not be considered enrichment tool. But they used R-3.4.1 as software; but we can list R with package piano. The question expects list of tools like DAVID, GSEA, etc. They didn't mention such. So only piano and KEGG mapping. Thus the table columns: Tool, Version, Gene set libraries, Custom Background? Statistical Test, Multiple Testing Correction. Let's craft table: | Tool | Version | Gene Set Libraries | Custom Background? | Statistical Test | Multiple Testing Correction | But each tool might use different gene set libraries. So perhaps separate rows per tool. Row 1: R (R-3.4.1) with forestplot for plotting? But not enrichment. Might skip. Let's have Row 1: piano_1.16.4. Row 2: KEGG website "User data mapping" tool. But do we need to mention R? The question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" They mention "statistical software R-3.4.1 with additional package forestplot_1.7.2" to create Fig. 4. But they use piano for KEGG enrichment. So the main tool is piano. The KEGG website is used to generate pathway plots, but enrichment analysis itself was performed with piano. The GO enrichment they performed with R, but they didn't name a specific package. But they say "Genes were annotated with information from Gene Ontology ... For an assessment of the true enrichment of a category, Fisher’s exact test with Benjamini–Hochberg correction was applied." That might be via R functions. So tool: R. But we might include "R-3.4.1" as tool. Thus maybe we list 3 tools: R (3.4.1), piano (1.16.4), KEGG website User data mapping (no version). The forestplot is for plotting, not enrichment. Answer each question accordingly. Now fill table. Columns: Question columns: 1. Tool used for pathway enrichment analysis: Tools: piano, KEGG User data mapping tool, R (for analysis). But maybe only "piano" and "KEGG website" are explicitly for enrichment. The R package forestplot is not enrichment. So we might list: piano (v1.16.4), KEGG website "User data mapping" tool. But they also used R-3.4.1 for statistical tests. But is that considered enrichment tool? It is statistical software; but they used R for the enrichment test via piano. So I think answer: R-3.4.1 (with piano package) and KEGG website. Thus first question: Tools used: R-3.4.1, piano (v1.16.4), KEGG website "User data mapping". But 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 R-3.4.1 is statistical software, not enrichment. But it's used for enrichment analysis (Fisher test). So maybe include R. Thus row list: R (3.4.1), piano (1.16.4), KEGG User Data Mapping Tool (no version). Second question: Were enrichment tool versions described? For R: 3.4.1. For piano: 1.16.4. For KEGG website: no version. So answer accordingly. Third: Which gene set libraries used? They used Gene Ontology (GO) Biological Process (migo_bp), Gene Ontology pathways (migo_pathways), KEGG gene sets from MSigDB. So we list GO, KEGG, MSigDB. Fourth: Custom background list? They mention background as whole gene sets with corresponding Entrez-IDs of the Agilent 8×60K Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray. That is a specific background gene list, so Yes. Fifth: Statistical tests: Fisher’s exact test. Sixth: Multiple testing correction: Benjamini–Hochberg correction. So Yes. Now produce table with 6 columns. Let's format: | Tool | Version | Gene Set Libraries | Custom Background | Statistical Test | Multiple Testing Correction | But each row refers to a tool; but some columns may not apply. For "Custom Background", we can put Yes for all tools? Because the article describes using a specific background gene list for enrichment analysis. Yes. So put Yes. But maybe we need separate rows for each tool. For R-3.4.1: version described, but not specifically a package. But we can still include. So row: R-3.4.1; no gene set library specified; but R used for analysis. Might be fine. But the question: "Which gene set libraries were used?" Only include what's actually stated. For each tool? But it's overall. So maybe we don't need to split rows. But requirement: Provide output in table format. Probably each row is a tool. So we can have one row for piano_1.16.4. Another row for KEGG website "User data mapping" tool. For R itself we can also add. But if we list R as a tool, gene set library column? Could leave empty. But we should list all tools: piano_1.16.4, KEGG website. Also maybe "forestplot_1.7.2" but that's for plotting, not enrichment. Thus create rows: 1. R-3.4.1 (statistical software) - Not a tool for enrichment? But used for analysis. But we can include. 2. R package piano_1.16.4. 3. KEGG website "User data mapping" tool. So table columns as above. For each row: - Tool: R-3.4.1 (but we might just write "R-3.4.1"). - Version: 3.4.1 (the tool version). - Gene Set Libraries: Not described? But R used for GO and KEGG; but we may leave as Not described or GO and KEGG? But gene set libraries used across analysis include GO and KEGG; but these are separate. So maybe for R-3.4.1 we can say "GO, KEGG" but maybe they were used by piano. Might be confusing. Perhaps better to list only piano as tool with version. For KEGG website no version. For R, we might omit because it's not a dedicated enrichment tool. But question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" Could answer "piano" and "KEGG website". So we can list those. Thus one row: piano_1.16.4. Another row: KEGG User data mapping tool (no version). Also maybe "R-3.4.1" not a tool for enrichment but used. But we can mention as tool used for enrichment analysis as part of pipeline. Let's answer with rows: "piano" and "KEGG User data mapping". Now fill columns: Tool | Version | Gene set libraries | Custom Background? | Statistical test(s) | Multiple testing correction. Row 1: piano; version 1.16.4; gene set library: KEGG gene sets from MSigDB (curated KEGG gene sets); Custom Background? Not described (but they mention background of whole gene sets with Entrez-IDs of the Agilent array, which is specific). Wait, the custom background description refers to using the Agilent background. That applies to all enrichment. So answer: Yes. But the question: "Does the article describe using a custom or specific background gene list for enrichment analysis?" Yes. So for each tool: Yes. So set Yes. Statistical tests: Fisher’s exact test. Multiple testing correction: Yes (Benjamini–Hochberg). Row 2: KEGG website "User data mapping" tool; version not described; gene set library: KEGG pathways; Custom Background? Not described? Actually background not described for KEGG mapping; but the article says they used curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB, but mapping tool may not use custom background. They didn't specify. So answer: Not described? But maybe "custom background" refers to the background gene list used in enrichment. For KEGG mapping, they used curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB, and the background is the whole gene sets. But they didn't mention using custom background. So answer: Not described. For statistical test: They said "based on Fisher’s exact test" for KEGG enrichment using piano. The mapping tool likely just plots, not test. So we can treat the KEGG website tool as not performing enrichment test; the enrichment test was performed by piano. So we might not include KEGG website tool for enrichment analysis. But the question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" The KEGG website mapping tool is used to create plots, not to compute enrichment; but maybe they used it to display the results. However they used piano for enrichment, so tool: piano. So we can list only piano. Thus the table will have one row: piano. But the question asks to list all tools used for enrichment analysis. So maybe piano is the only tool. R itself is a programming environment used by piano; but the tool is piano. Also forestplot is just plotting; not enrichment. Thus answer: Only "piano" is explicitly used for enrichment. But they also used GO enrichment by Fisher test, but not via a named tool. So I'd put "piano" as tool. Thus table: Tool | Version | Gene set libraries | Custom background | Statistical test | Multiple testing correction Row 1: piano | 1.16.4 | GO (migo_bp, migo_pathways), KEGG (from MSigDB) | Yes | Fisher’s exact test | Yes But also GO enrichment was performed but tool not named; but we might include the GO analysis as part of the enrichment but tool not named. They used R functions; but not a specific package. So tool: piano. For GO, they used R for statistical test, but no tool named. So maybe we only list piano. But the question "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis? List all tools or software packages used (e.g., DAVID, GSEA, Enrichr, etc.) that are explicitly mentioned in the article for enrichment analysis." So "piano" is explicitly mentioned. Also "KEGG website 'User data mapping' tool" is mentioned for generating KEGG pathway plots, but it's not enrichment. But it's still part of pathway analysis. Might include. Thus row for KEGG website: Tool: KEGG User data mapping tool; Version: Not described; Gene set library: KEGG; Custom background: Not described; Statistical test: Not described (since it's just mapping). So maybe not include because not an enrichment test. The question: "Which tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" Could include "KEGG website" if they used it for enrichment. But mapping tool is not enrichment test. Thus we should only include piano. But the GO enrichment also performed but no tool named. But we might mention "R" for enrichment. But they didn't name a GO enrichment package. Thus I'd produce table with only one row: piano. But also we might include "R-3.4.1" as tool used for enrichment because they performed statistical tests in R. But maybe that's acceptable. The safe answer: Tool: piano (R package). Also R-3.4.1 (for analysis). KEGG website mapping tool used for pathway plots. But mapping tool is not enrichment. The question: "What tool was used for pathway enrichment analysis?" It expects "piano". So I'd answer that. Thus table with columns: Tool | Version | Gene set libraries | Custom background | Statistical test | Multiple testing correction Row 1: piano | 1.16.4 | Gene Ontology Biological Process (migo_bp), Gene Ontology Pathways (migo_pathways), KEGG (curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB) | Yes | Fisher’s exact test | Yes But we need to list gene set libraries used: They used GO and KEGG. Also they used curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB. So gene set libraries: GO, KEGG, MSigDB. Should also include migo_bp, migo_pathways? Those are annotation sets. So we list GO Biological Process, GO Pathway, KEGG from MSigDB. Now fill table accordingly. Let's craft final answer. ...done thinking. | # | Question | Answer | |---|----------|--------| | 1 | **Tool used for pathway enrichment analysis** | piano (R package) | | 2 | **Enrichment tool version(s)** | piano_1.16.4 | | 3 | **Gene set libraries used** | Gene Ontology Biological Process (migo_bp), Gene Ontology Pathways (migo_pathways), KEGG (curated KEGG gene sets from MSigDB) | | 4 | **Custom/background gene list used?** | Yes (the background was the whole gene sets with corresponding Entrez‑IDs of the Agilent 8 × 60 K Whole Human Genome Oligo Microarray) | | 5 | **Statistical test(s) used** | Fisher’s exact test | | 6 | **Multiple‑testing correction/FDR applied?** | Yes (Benjamini–Hochberg correction) |
