There are two core methods, and choosing correctly is the single most important decision:\n\n- **ORA (over-representation analysis)** — take a *thresholded* gene list (e.g., padj \u003C 0.05) and test which gene sets it overlaps more than chance, using Fisher's exact \u002F hypergeometric tests. Tools: Enrichr, g:Profiler.\n- **GSEA (gene set enrichment analysis)** — take the *whole ranked list* of genes (no threshold) and test whether each gene set is concentrated toward the top or bottom. Preranked GSEA uses a per-gene score (e.g., the DESeq2 `stat`). Better when effects are broad and subtle.\n\nThis skill orchestrates these analyses, the gene-set databases behind them, and the interpretation pitfalls that make results wrong or unpublishable.\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\nUse this skill when the user wants to:\n- Find enriched GO terms \u002F KEGG \u002F Reactome \u002F WikiPathways \u002F MSigDB Hallmark sets in a gene list.\n- Run GSEA \u002F preranked GSEA on DESeq2, edgeR, limma, or Scanpy `rank_genes_groups` output.\n- Score gene-set expression per sample\u002Fcell (ssGSEA, GSVA).\n- Interpret, deduplicate, and visualize enrichment results, or build a publication table\u002Ffigure.\n- Decide between ORA and GSEA, pick gene-set libraries, choose a background, or fix gene-ID problems.\n\nFor quick one-off Enrichr lookups the `gget` skill (`gget enrichr`) is lighter weight; for raw pathway\u002Finteraction APIs (Reactome, KEGG, STRING) see the `database-lookup` skill. Use **this** skill for full, defensible enrichment workflows.\n\n## Choosing the Right Method\n\n| Situation | Method | Tool \u002F entry point |\n|-----------|--------|--------------------|\n| You have a discrete hit list (DE genes, screen hits, cluster markers) | **ORA** | `gp.enrichr(...)` or g:Profiler |\n| You have a full ranked list (every tested gene + a score) | **Preranked GSEA** | `gp.prerank(...)` |\n| You have an expression matrix + class labels | **GSEA** | `gp.gsea(...)` |\n| You want a gene-set score per sample\u002Fcell | **ssGSEA \u002F GSVA** | `gp.ssgsea(...)`, `gp.gsva(...)` |\n| You need a custom background or additional organisms | **ORA with custom domain** | g:Profiler (`domain_scope='custom'`) |\n| You want TF \u002F signaling *activity* (PROGENy, DoRothEA) | activity inference | see `references\u002Fdatabases-and-gene-sets.md` (decoupler) |\n\nWhen in doubt: a thresholded list → ORA; a ranked table with scores → GSEA. Never threshold a list and then feed it to GSEA — that discards the ranking GSEA depends on.\n\n## Setup\n\n```bash\nuv pip install gseapy==1.3.1 gprofiler-official==1.0.0 mygene==3.2.2 lxml\n# gseapy pulls pandas, numpy, scipy, matplotlib. Network access is needed for\n# Enrichr, g:Profiler, and MSigDB downloads. For fully offline ORA, use a local\n# GMT file with gp.enrich() (see references\u002Fgseapy.md).\n```\n\nThe examples target GSEApy 1.3.1 (released stable); the helper runs classic\npermutation GSEA. Current MSigDB is 2026.1.Hs\u002F2026.1.Mm. Local synthetic workflows\nand small public mapping\u002Fcatalog queries were executed; Enrichr submission\nroutes were verified from released source with mocked transport. BioMart returned\nservice-unavailable HTML during review; validate its output schema. See\n[verified API contracts](references\u002Fverified-api.md) for evidence and boundaries.\n\nVerify and list available gene-set libraries (names change over time — never hardcode blindly):\n\n```python\nimport gseapy as gp\nnames = gp.get_library_name(organism=\"human\")   # discover current Enrichr libraries\nprint([n for n in names if \"Reactome\" in n or \"KEGG\" in n or \"Hallmark\" in n])\n```\n\n## Quick Start\n\n### ORA on a hit list (gseapy + Enrichr)\n\n```python\nimport gseapy as gp\n\n# Match the library organism and identifier namespace; map aliases explicitly.\n# Keep original spelling: capitalization is not gene-ID or orthology mapping.\ngenes = [g.strip() for g in open(\"deg_symbols.txt\") if g.strip()]\ntested = [g.strip() for g in open(\"tested_symbols.txt\") if g.strip()]\nassert set(genes) \u003C= set(tested)\n\nenr = gp.enrichr(\n    gene_list=genes,\n    gene_sets=[\"MSigDB_Hallmark_2020\", \"GO_Biological_Process_2026\",\n               \"KEGG_2026\", \"Reactome_Pathways_2024\"],\n    organism=\"human\", background=tested,\n    outdir=None,            # in-memory; set a path to also write tables\u002Fplots\n)\nres = enr.results\nsig = res[res[\"Adjusted P-value\"] \u003C 0.05].sort_values(\"Adjusted P-value\")\nprint(sig[[\"Gene_set\", \"Term\", \"Adjusted P-value\", \"Combined Score\", \"Genes\"]].head(20))\n# Speedrichr results omit Overlap; retain its actual response schema.\n```\n\n### Preranked GSEA from DESeq2 results\n\n```python\nimport gseapy as gp\nimport pandas as pd\nimport numpy as np\n\nres = pd.read_csv(\"deseq2_results.csv\", index_col=0)   # index = gene symbols\n# Rank by the test statistic (sign = direction, magnitude = evidence). This is\n# more stable than ranking by log2FoldChange, which is noisy for low-count genes.\nrnk = res[\"stat\"].dropna().sort_values(ascending=False, kind=\"stable\")\nrnk.index = rnk.index.str.strip()\nassert rnk.index.is_unique, \"Resolve duplicate mappings before ranking\"\nassert np.isfinite(rnk.to_numpy()).all()\n\npre = gp.prerank(\n    rnk=rnk,\n    gene_sets=[\"MSigDB_Hallmark_2020\", \"GO_Biological_Process_2026\"],\n    organism=\"human\", method=\"permutation\",\n    min_size=15, max_size=500,        # size AFTER intersection with ranked genes\n    permutation_num=1000, seed=123,   # seed = reproducible p-values\n    threads=4, ascending=None, outdir=None,\n)\nout = pre.res2d.sort_values(\"FDR q-val\")\nprint(out[[\"Term\", \"ES\", \"NES\", \"NOM p-val\", \"FDR q-val\", \"Lead_genes\"]].head(20))\n```\n\nUse a **signed Wald statistic**, not the unsigned DESeq2 likelihood-ratio statistic.\nIf unavailable, `sign(log2FoldChange) * -log10(raw pvalue)` is a fallback: validate\np-values in [0, 1], bound numerical zeros (the helper uses 1e-300), and report ties\nand exclusions. Do not use adjusted p-values or select only significant genes.\n\n## Core Workflow\n\nFor a defensible analysis, work through these steps. The middle steps (ID type, background) are where results most often silently go wrong.\n\n### Step 1 — Pin down inputs and pick the method\nConfirm: which genes, what organism, is there a per-gene score (→ GSEA) or just a list (→ ORA), and what comparison they represent (direction matters for interpretation).\n\n### Step 2 — Get gene IDs into the right namespace\nMatch the identifiers actually stored in the selected library: MSigDB offers symbol and Entrez GMTs. Human\u002Fmouse capitalization is a convention, not a conversion. Preserve original IDs, resolve one-to-many mappings deliberately, and map the ORA query and background identically. See `references\u002Fdatabases-and-gene-sets.md` for `gp.Biomart`, g:Profiler `g:Convert`, and `mygene`. A silent ID mismatch is the #1 cause of \"nothing is significant\".\n\n### Step 3 — Choose gene-set libraries to match the question\nHallmark (broad themes) → GO:BP (mechanism) → KEGG\u002FReactome\u002FWikiPathways (curated pathways) → C7 (immune), etc. Don't run 50 libraries; pick 2–4 that fit the biology. Catalog and selection guidance: `references\u002Fdatabases-and-gene-sets.md`.\n\n### Step 4 — Set the background universe (ORA only)\nThe background must be the genes that *could* have been detected in your assay (e.g., all expressed\u002Ftested genes), not the whole genome. The wrong background biases significance. Every query gene must belong to that universe. GSEApy 1.3.1 uses Speedrichr for an explicit online background; local `gp.enrich()` + a pinned GMT gives a directly inspectable universe. g:Profiler also accepts `domain_scope='custom'` + `background`. Do not assume a background gene count or service default represents the assay. Rationale in `references\u002Finterpretation.md`.\n\n### Step 5 — Run the analysis\nUse the Quick Start patterns or the bundled `scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py`. For GSEA always set a `seed` and report `permutation_num`.\n\n### Step 6 — Filter on adjusted p-values\nUse the correction returned by the selected method: Enrichr ORA reports BH-adjusted\np-values, g:Profiler defaults to g:SCS, and classic GSEA estimates `FDR q-val` from its\npermutation distributions. GSEApy 1.3.1 `method=\"multilevel\"` instead returns\nBH-adjusted p-values across all tested terms and a `log2err` diagnostic. These are not interchangeable BH outputs. Report the\nmethod and permutation type with the cutoff; GSEA's exploratory 0.25 convention\nis for phenotype permutations, while its documentation recommends 0.05 for\ngene-set permutations such as preranked analyses. Also inspect overlap and\ngene-set size. See the [GSEA FAQ](https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.gsea-msigdb.org\u002FGSEA\u002FGSEA_FAQ\u002F).\n\n### Step 7 — Visualize\nDotplots, bar plots, enrichment maps, and GSEA running-score plots are built into gseapy (`gp.dotplot`, `gp.barplot`, `gp.enrichment_map`, `gp.gseaplot`). See `references\u002Fgseapy.md`.\n\n### Step 8 — Reduce redundancy and interpret\nGO especially returns many near-duplicate terms. Collapse with an enrichment map (term–term similarity), leading-edge overlap, or parent terms, and report representative terms. Interpretation framework and a publication-table format are in `references\u002Finterpretation.md`.\n\n## Helper Script\n\n`scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py` runs ORA or GSEA end-to-end and writes a results table plus a dotplot, preserving gene-ID case, rejecting duplicate ranked genes, validating finite scores and custom backgrounds, and saving version\u002Fsettings\u002Finput hashes in metadata JSON. Gene lists may be deduplicated; ranked genes must be resolved upstream. Only significant terms are plotted. Use a fresh output directory for each run.\n\n```bash\n# ORA from a hit list (one gene symbol per line)\npython scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py ora \\\n  --genes deg_symbols.txt --background tested_symbols.txt \\\n  --libraries MSigDB_Hallmark_2020 GO_Biological_Process_2026 KEGG_2026 \\\n  --organism human --outdir results\u002F\n\n# Preranked GSEA from a DESeq2 results CSV (auto-builds the rank from `stat`)\npython scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py gsea \\\n  --deseq2 deseq2_results.csv \\\n  --libraries MSigDB_Hallmark_2020 GO_Biological_Process_2026 \\\n  --organism human --outdir results\u002F --seed 123\n\n# Preranked GSEA from an explicit 2-column rank file (gene,score)\npython scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py gsea --rnk ranked_genes.csv --outdir results\u002F\n```\n\nFor nonhuman runs, provide explicit `--libraries`; `--organism` selects the service\ninstance and does not convert genes or choose species-specific libraries. CSV\u002FTSV\ngene lists require headers; rank files accept comma\u002Ftab separators and an optional\n`gene,score` header. Local GMT ORA requires `--background`.\n\nRun `python scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py --help` for all options (background file, FDR cutoff, min\u002Fmax set size, permutations).\n\n## Common Pitfalls\n\nThese cause most wrong or irreproducible results:\n\n1. **Gene-ID \u002F organism mismatch** — symbols vs Ensembl, human vs mouse genes. Map IDs and select a species-matched library, or matches silently drop to ~zero.\n2. **Wrong background (ORA)** — using the whole genome instead of the tested\u002Fexpressed gene set can bias significance. Set a custom background when it matters.\n3. **Thresholding before GSEA** — GSEA needs the *full* ranked list; only ORA uses a cut list.\n4. **Ranking GSEA by log2FoldChange alone** — unstable for low-count genes; prefer `stat` or `sign(LFC) * -log10(p)`.\n5. **Multiple-testing across libraries** — Classic GSEApy permutation FDR is computed per library prefix; its multilevel method uses BH across the submitted family. Online\u002Flocal ORA reports its own tested family. Report per-library FDR and stay conservative.\n6. **Redundant GO terms** — don't report 40 variants of the same term; collapse and show representatives.\n7. **Significance ≠ relevance** — check the overlap count and gene-set size; small overlaps can be unstable and large generic terms can be uninformative.\n8. **Power and selection bias** — judge list size relative to the assay universe and term sizes, not universal cutoffs. RNA-seq gene length\u002Fdetection biases and correlated genes can violate a simple random-hit model.\n9. **No reproducibility metadata** — Enrichr\u002FGO libraries are versioned and drift over time. Record library names+date and set a GSEA `seed`.\n\n## Integration with Other Skills\n\n- **Upstream (where genes come from):** `pydeseq2` (DE genes + `stat` for GSEA), `scanpy` (`rank_genes_groups` markers \u002F scores), `depmap`\u002F`pytdc` (screen hits), proteomics skills (`pyopenms`, `matchms`).\n- **Databases \u002F IDs:** `database-lookup` (Reactome, KEGG, STRING, Gene Ontology APIs), `gget` (`gget enrichr` quick path, `gget info` for ID mapping), `bioservices`.\n- **Downstream:** `scientific-visualization` (custom figures), `networkx` (enrichment-map graphs), `scientific-writing` \u002F `literature-review` (interpret and cite), `statistical-analysis` (multiple-testing details).\n\n## Reference Files\n\nRead the relevant file when you need depth:\n\n- `references\u002Fgseapy.md` — tested gseapy patterns: `enrichr`, offline `enrich`, `prerank`, `gsea`, `ssgsea`, `gsva`, `Msigdb`, `Biomart`, `get_library_name`\u002F`read_gmt`, plot return types, result-column meanings, GMT\u002Foffline usage, and troubleshooting (rate limits, empty results).\n- `references\u002Fdatabases-and-gene-sets.md` — GO, KEGG, Reactome, WikiPathways, MSigDB collections, Enrichr library naming, g:Profiler sources, organism handling, gene-ID conversion, library selection by question, and pointers to Reactome\u002FSTRING APIs and decoupler activity inference.\n- `references\u002Fverified-api.md` — reviewed release, endpoint\u002Fauth\u002Fresponse contracts, source links and execution limits.\n- `references\u002Finterpretation.md` — ORA vs GSEA statistics, background-universe choice, multiple-testing methods (BH vs g:SCS vs Bonferroni), leading-edge genes, redundancy reduction, effect vs significance, a publication-table template, and reproducibility checklist.\n\n## Resources\n\n- gseapy docs: https:\u002F\u002Fgseapy.readthedocs.io\u002F · repo: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fzqfang\u002FGSEApy\n- g:Profiler: https:\u002F\u002Fbiit.cs.ut.ee\u002Fgprofiler\u002F · Python client: https:\u002F\u002Fpypi.org\u002Fproject\u002Fgprofiler-official\u002F\n- Enrichr: https:\u002F\u002Fmaayanlab.cloud\u002FEnrichr\u002F · MSigDB: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gsea-msigdb.org\u002Fgsea\u002Fmsigdb\u002F\n- GSEA method: Subramanian et al.

Do not use adjusted p-values or select only significant genes.\n\n## Core Workflow\n\nFor a defensible analysis, work through these steps. The middle steps (ID type, background) are where results most often silently go wrong.\n\n### Step 1 — Pin down inputs and pick the method\nConfirm: which genes, what organism, is there a per-gene score (→ GSEA) or just a list (→ ORA), and what comparison they represent (direction matters for interpretation).\n\n### Step 2 — Get gene IDs into the right namespace\nMatch the identifiers actually stored in the selected library: MSigDB offers symbol and Entrez GMTs. Human\u002Fmouse capitalization is a convention, not a conversion. Preserve original IDs, resolve one-to-many mappings deliberately, and map the ORA query and background identically. See `references\u002Fdatabases-and-gene-sets.md` for `gp.Biomart`, g:Profiler `g:Convert`, and `mygene`. A silent ID mismatch is the #1 cause of \"nothing is significant\".\n\n### Step 3 — Choose gene-set libraries to match the question\nHallmark (broad themes) → GO:BP (mechanism) → KEGG\u002FReactome\u002FWikiPathways (curated pathways) → C7 (immune), etc. Don't run 50 libraries; pick 2–4 that fit the biology. Catalog and selection guidance: `references\u002Fdatabases-and-gene-sets.md`.\n\n### Step 4 — Set the background universe (ORA only)\nThe background must be the genes that *could* have been detected in your assay (e.g., all expressed\u002Ftested genes), not the whole genome. The wrong background biases significance. Every query gene must belong to that universe. GSEApy 1.3.1 uses Speedrichr for an explicit online background; local `gp.enrich()` + a pinned GMT gives a directly inspectable universe. g:Profiler also accepts `domain_scope='custom'` + `background`. Do not assume a background gene count or service default represents the assay. Rationale in `references\u002Finterpretation.md`.\n\n### Step 5 — Run the analysis\nUse the Quick Start patterns or the bundled `scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py`. For GSEA always set a `seed` and report `permutation_num`.\n\n### Step 6 — Filter on adjusted p-values\nUse the correction returned by the selected method: Enrichr ORA reports BH-adjusted\np-values, g:Profiler defaults to g:SCS, and classic GSEA estimates `FDR q-val` from its\npermutation distributions. GSEApy 1.3.1 `method=\"multilevel\"` instead returns\nBH-adjusted p-values across all tested terms and a `log2err` diagnostic. These are not interchangeable BH outputs. Report the\nmethod and permutation type with the cutoff; GSEA's exploratory 0.25 convention\nis for phenotype permutations, while its documentation recommends 0.05 for\ngene-set permutations such as preranked analyses. Also inspect overlap and\ngene-set size. See the [GSEA FAQ](https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.gsea-msigdb.org\u002FGSEA\u002FGSEA_FAQ\u002F).\n\n### Step 7 — Visualize\nDotplots, bar plots, enrichment maps, and GSEA running-score plots are built into gseapy (`gp.dotplot`, `gp.barplot`, `gp.enrichment_map`, `gp.gseaplot`). See `references\u002Fgseapy.md`.\n\n### Step 8 — Reduce redundancy and interpret\nGO especially returns many near-duplicate terms. Collapse with an enrichment map (term–term similarity), leading-edge overlap, or parent terms, and report representative terms. Interpretation framework and a publication-table format are in `references\u002Finterpretation.md`.\n\n## Helper Script\n\n`scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py` runs ORA or GSEA end-to-end and writes a results table plus a dotplot, preserving gene-ID case, rejecting duplicate ranked genes, validating finite scores and custom backgrounds, and saving version\u002Fsettings\u002Finput hashes in metadata JSON. Gene lists may be deduplicated; ranked genes must be resolved upstream. Only significant terms are plotted. Use a fresh output directory for each run.\n\n```bash\n# ORA from a hit list (one gene symbol per line)\npython scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py ora \\\n  --genes deg_symbols.txt --background tested_symbols.txt \\\n  --libraries MSigDB_Hallmark_2020 GO_Biological_Process_2026 KEGG_2026 \\\n  --organism human --outdir results\u002F\n\n# Preranked GSEA from a DESeq2 results CSV (auto-builds the rank from `stat`)\npython scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py gsea \\\n  --deseq2 deseq2_results.csv \\\n  --libraries MSigDB_Hallmark_2020 GO_Biological_Process_2026 \\\n  --organism human --outdir results\u002F --seed 123\n\n# Preranked GSEA from an explicit 2-column rank file (gene,score)\npython scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py gsea --rnk ranked_genes.csv --outdir results\u002F\n```\n\nFor nonhuman runs, provide explicit `--libraries`; `--organism` selects the service\ninstance and does not convert genes or choose species-specific libraries. CSV\u002FTSV\ngene lists require headers; rank files accept comma\u002Ftab separators and an optional\n`gene,score` header. Local GMT ORA requires `--background`.\n\nRun `python scripts\u002Frun_enrichment.py --help` for all options (background file, FDR cutoff, min\u002Fmax set size, permutations).\n\n## Common Pitfalls\n\nThese cause most wrong or irreproducible results:\n\n1. **Gene-ID \u002F organism mismatch** — symbols vs Ensembl, human vs mouse genes. Map IDs and select a species-matched library, or matches silently drop to ~zero.\n2. **Wrong background (ORA)** — using the whole genome instead of the tested\u002Fexpressed gene set can bias significance. Set a custom background when it matters.\n3. **Thresholding before GSEA** — GSEA needs the *full* ranked list; only ORA uses a cut list.\n4. **Ranking GSEA by log2FoldChange alone** — unstable for low-count genes; prefer `stat` or `sign(LFC) * -log10(p)`.\n5. **Multiple-testing across libraries** — Classic GSEApy permutation FDR is computed per library prefix; its multilevel method uses BH across the submitted family. Online\u002Flocal ORA reports its own tested family. Report per-library FDR and stay conservative.\n6. **Redundant GO terms** — don't report 40 variants of the same term; collapse and show representatives.\n7. **Significance ≠ relevance** — check the overlap count and gene-set size; small overlaps can be unstable and large generic terms can be uninformative.\n8. **Power and selection bias** — judge list size relative to the assay universe and term sizes, not universal cutoffs. RNA-seq gene length\u002Fdetection biases and correlated genes can violate a simple random-hit model.\n9. **No reproducibility metadata** — Enrichr\u002FGO libraries are versioned and drift over time. Record library names+date and set a GSEA `seed`.\n\n## Integration with Other Skills\n\n- **Upstream (where genes come from):** `pydeseq2` (DE genes + `stat` for GSEA), `scanpy` (`rank_genes_groups` markers \u002F scores), `depmap`\u002F`pytdc` (screen hits), proteomics skills (`pyopenms`, `matchms`).\n- **Databases \u002F IDs:** `database-lookup` (Reactome, KEGG, STRING, Gene Ontology APIs), `gget` (`gget enrichr` quick path, `gget info` for ID mapping), `bioservices`.\n- **Downstream:** `scientific-visualization` (custom figures), `networkx` (enrichment-map graphs), `scientific-writing` \u002F `literature-review` (interpret and cite), `statistical-analysis` (multiple-testing details).\n\n## Reference Files\n\nRead the relevant file when you need depth:\n\n- `references\u002Fgseapy.md` — tested gseapy patterns: `enrichr`, offline `enrich`, `prerank`, `gsea`, `ssgsea`, `gsva`, `Msigdb`, `Biomart`, `get_library_name`\u002F`read_gmt`, plot return types, result-column meanings, GMT\u002Foffline usage, and troubleshooting (rate limits, empty results).\n- `references\u002Fdatabases-and-gene-sets.md` — GO, KEGG, Reactome, WikiPathways, MSigDB collections, Enrichr library naming, g:Profiler sources, organism handling, gene-ID conversion, library selection by question, and pointers to Reactome\u002FSTRING APIs and decoupler activity inference.\n- `references\u002Fverified-api.md` — reviewed release, endpoint\u002Fauth\u002Fresponse contracts, source links and execution limits.\n- `references\u002Finterpretation.md` — ORA vs GSEA statistics, background-universe choice, multiple-testing methods (BH vs g:SCS vs Bonferroni), leading-edge genes, redundancy reduction, effect vs significance, a publication-table template, and reproducibility checklist.\n\n## Resources\n\n- gseapy docs: https:\u002F\u002Fgseapy.readthedocs.io\u002F · repo: https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002Fzqfang\u002FGSEApy\n- g:Profiler: https:\u002F\u002Fbiit.cs.ut.ee\u002Fgprofiler\u002F · Python client: https:\u002F\u002Fpypi.org\u002Fproject\u002Fgprofiler-official\u002F\n- Enrichr: https:\u002F\u002Fmaayanlab.cloud\u002FEnrichr\u002F · MSigDB: https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gsea-msigdb.org\u002Fgsea\u002Fmsigdb\u002F\n- GSEA method: Subramanian et al.
