This package allows the enrichment of BEL networks with MSigDB information. Furthermore, it is integrated in the ComPath environment for pathway database comparison.

Warning This package creates partOf
relationships in BEL. MSigDB does not contain mechanistic relationships,
but it include simplifications of several sources (KEGG, WikiPathways, Reactome, PID) that do have mechanistic
relationships. Those sources can be converted to BEL with the
PathMe project.
bio2bel_msig
can be installed easily from PyPI with the
following code in your favorite terminal:
$ pip install bio2bel_msig
or from the latest code on GitHub in development mode with:
$ git clone https://github.com/bio2bel/msig.git
$ cd msig
$ pip install -e .
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()
