Overview
The Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) is a collection of annotated gene sets for use with GSEA software. From this
web site, you can
- Search for gene sets by keyword.
- Browse gene sets by name or collection.
- Examine a gene set and
its annotations. See, for example, the
HALLMARK_APOPTOSIS gene set page.
- Download gene sets.
- Investigate gene sets:
- Compute overlaps between your gene set and gene sets in MSigDB.
- Categorize members of a gene set by gene families.
- View the expression profile of a gene set in a provided public expression compendia.
- Investigate the gene set in the online biological network repository NDEx
