**What it does**

`Gene Ontology`_ (GO) analysis is widely used to reduce complexity and highlight biological processes in genome-wide expression studies, but standard methods give biased results on RNA-seq data due to over-detection of differential expression for long and highly expressed transcripts. This tool provides methods for performing GO analysis of RNA-seq data, taking length bias into account. The methods and software used by goseq are equally applicable to other category based tests of RNA-seq data, such as KEGG_ pathway analysis.

Options map closely to the excellent goseq manual_.

-----

**Inputs**

*Differentially expressed genes file*

goseq needs a tabular file containing information on differentially expressed genes. This should contain all genes assayed in the RNA-seq experiment. The file should have two columns with an optional header row. The first column should contain the Gene IDs, which must be unique within the file and not repeated. The second column should contain True or False. True means the gene should count as differentially expressed, False means it is not differentially expressed. You can use the "Compute an expression on every row" tool to create a True / False column for your dataset.

Example:

    =============== =====
    ENSG00000236824 False
    ENSG00000162526 False
    ENSG00000090402 True
    ENSG00000169188 False
    ENSG00000124103 False
    =============== =====

*Gene lengths file*

goseq needs information about the length of a gene to correct for potential length bias in differentially expressed genes using a Probability Weight Function (PWF). The PWF can be thought of, as a function which gives the probability that a gene will be differentially expressed, based on its length alone. The gene length file should have two columns with an optional header row. The first column should contain the Gene IDs, and the second column should contain the gene length in bp. If length data is unavailable for some genes, that entry should be set to NA. The goseq authors recommend using the gene lengths obtained from upstream summarization programs, such as **featureCounts**, if provided. Alternatively, the **Gene length and GC content** tool can produce such a file.

Example:

    =============== =====
    ENSG00000236824 13458
    ENSG00000162526 2191
    ENSG00000090402 6138
    ENSG00000169188 3245
    ENSG00000124103 1137
    =============== =====

*Gene categories file*

This tool can get GO and KEGG categories for some genomes. The three GO categories are GO:MF (Molecular Function - molecular activities of gene products), GO:CC (Cellular Component - where gene products are active), GO:BP (Biological Process - pathways and larger processes made up of the activities of multiple gene products). If your genome is not available, you will also need a file describing the membership of genes in categories. The category file should have two columns with an optional header row. with Gene ID in the first column and category identifier in the second column. As the mapping between categories and genes is usually many-to-many, this table will usually have multiple rows with the same Gene ID and category identifier.

Example:

    =============== ===========
    ENSG00000162526 GO\:0000003
    ENSG00000198648 GO\:0000278
    ENSG00000112312 GO\:0000278
    ENSG00000174442 GO\:0000278
    ENSG00000108953 GO\:0000278
    =============== ===========

**Outputs**

This tool outputs a tabular file containing a ranked list of gene categories, similar to below. The default output is the Wallenius method table. If the Sampling and/or Hypergeometric methods are also selected, additional tables are produced.

Example:

Optionally, this tool can also output:
  * a plot of the top 10 over-represented GO categories
  * some diagnostic plots
  * a tabular with the differentially expressed genes in categories (GO/KEGG terms)
  * an RData file

**Method options**

3 methods, *Wallenius*, *Sampling* and *Hypergeometric*, can be used to calculate the p-values as follows.

*Wallenius*

approximates the true distribution of numbers of members of a category amongst DE genes by the Wallenius non-central hypergeometric distribution.
This distribution assumes that within a category all genes have the same probability of being chosen. Therefore, this approximation works best when the range in probabilities obtained by the probability weighting function is small. This is the method used by default.

*Sampling*

uses random sampling to approximate the true distribution and uses it to calculate the p-values for over (and under) representation of categories.
Although this is the most accurate method given a high enough value of sampling number, its use quickly becomes computationally prohibitive. It may sometimes be desirable to use random sampling to generate the null distribution for category
membership. For example, to check consistency against results from the Wallenius approximation. This is easily accomplished by using the method option to additionally specify sampling and the number of samples to generate.

*Hypergeometric*

assumes there is no bias in power to detect differential expression at all and calculates the p-values using a standard hypergeometric distribution (no length bias correction is performed). Useful if you wish to test the effect of length bias on your results.
Caution: Hypergeometric should NEVER be used for producing results for biological interpretation of RNA-seq data. If length bias is truly not present in your data, goseq will produce a nearly flat PWF plot, no length bias correction will be applied to your data, and all methods will produce the same results.

-----

**More Information**

In order to account for the length bias inherent to RNA-seq data when performing a GO analysis
(or other category based tests), one cannot simply use the hypergeometric distribution as the null
distribution for category membership, which is appropriate for data without DE length bias, such
as microarray data. GO analysis of RNA-seq data requires the use of random sampling in order
to generate a suitable null distribution for GO category membership and calculate each categories
significance for over representation amongst DE genes.

However, this random sampling is computationally expensive. In most cases, the Wallenius
distribution can be used to approximate the true null distribution, without any significant loss in
accuracy. The goseq package implements this approximation as its default option. The option
to generate the null distribution using random sampling is also included as an option, but users
should be aware that the default number of samples generated will not be enough to accurately
call enrichment when there are a large number of go terms.

Having established a null distribution, each category is then tested for over and under
representation amongst the set of differentially expressed genes and the null is used to calculate a
p-value for under and over representation.

Having performed a GO analysis, you may now wish to interpret the results. If you wish to
identify categories significantly enriched/unenriched below some p-value cutoff, it is necessary to
first apply some kind of multiple hypothesis testing correction. For example, you can identify GO categories over
enriched using a 0.05 FDR (p.adjust) cutoff [Benjamini and Hochberg, 1995].

Unless you are a machine, GO and KEGG category identifiers are probably not very meaningful to you.
Information about each identifier can be obtained from the `Gene Ontology`_ and KEGG_ websites.
