g:Profiler for Gene-Set Enrichment Analysis

Please note that in this video, Saniya goes through how you can use g:Profiler (https://biit.cs.ut.ee/gprofiler/gost) to perform gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA), along with other functions, and also download gene data sources as .gmt files. That is, for a given list of genes (gene names and/or gene Entrez IDs or Ensembl IDs), you can use g:Profiler to uncover biological pathways, networks, functions, associations, tissues, etc. that are enriched (have a statistically significant overlap with our gene list) for our list of genes. In short, through Metascape (1 of many tools out there), we can query hundreds of different biological gene lists (across a variety of databases and atlases like Gene Ontology, biological pathways (e.g. KEGG, Reactome, WikiPathways), regulatory motifs in DNA (e.g. TRANSFAC, miRTarBase), protein databases (like Human Protein Atlas or CORUM), human phenotype ontology (e.g. HP) to determine what significant biological results are there for our gene list. Saniya also explains how results differ for different gene sets.

Also, if you would like to "buy me a cup of coffee" as a thanks, I would really appreciate it (even more so especially as I am still a student living on a stipend): https://www.buymeacoffee.com/saniyakh...
