This package provides a stand-alone web interface for gene-set enrichment analysis. Run either through R's internal Rhttpd server of deployed through an Apache2 webserver, gCMAPWeb allows users to search reference datasets stored in NChannelSet or CMAPCollection objects via three different methods:
- Directional queries performed by calculating the parametric JG score from the reference datasets
- Non-directional queries performed via Fisher's exact test
- Profile queires performed by calculating the parametric JG score from the query data
A web interace is populated based on a configuration file in YAML format and additional information from the reference dataset objects (if available).
For each query, a report is generated in html format, including graphs and tabular output. Extensive customization of the graphical user interface can easily be performed through global options.
