bio2bel-msig 0.1.0

Installation

bio2bel_msig can be installed easily from PyPI with the following code in your favorite terminal:

$ python3 -m pip install bio2bel_msig

or from the latest code on GitHub with:

$ python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/bio2bel/msig.git@master

Setup

The package expects you have downloaded the gene sets from MSigDB following the instructions and terms stated in their website.

The environment variable BIO2BEL_MSIG_PATH should be set to the directory where the gene set files in the GMT format are stored. Optionally, this can be directly overridden with the keyword argument to populate() in the REPL or as a flag in the command line utility.

>>> import bio2bel_msig
>>> msig_manager = bio2bel_msig.Manager()
>>> msig_manager.populate()

bio2bel_msig populate

• Export gene sets for programmatic use python3 -m bio2bel_msig export
