TMSig: Tools for Analyzing Molecular Signatures
The TMSig
R package contains tools to prepare, analyze, and visualize named lists of mathematical sets, with an emphasis on molecular signatures (such as gene or kinase sets). It includes fast, memory efficient functions to construct sparse incidence and similarity matrices and filter, cluster, invert, and decompose sets. Additionally, bubble heatmaps can be created to visualize the results of any differential or molecular signatures analysis.
We define a molecular signature as any collection of genes, proteins, post-translational modifications (PTMs), metabolites, lipids, or other molecules with an associated biological interpretation. Most molecular signatures databases are gene-centric, such as the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB; Liberzon et al., 2011, 2015), though there are others like the Metabolomics Workbench Reference List of Metabolite Names (RefMet) database (Fahy & Subramaniam, 2020).

Overview
Below is an overview of some of the core functions.
readGMT
: create a named list of sets from a GMT file.sparseIncidence
: compute a sparse incidence matrix with unique sets as rows and unique elements as columns. A value of 1 indicates that a particular element is a member of that set, while a value of 0 indicates that it is not.similarity
: compute the matrix of pairwise Jaccard, overlap, or Ōtsuka similarity coefficients for all pairs of sets AAA and BBB, where- Jaccard(A, B) = frac∣AcapB∣∣AcupB∣\frac{|A \cap B|}{|A \cup B|}frac∣AcapB∣∣AcupB∣
- Overlap(A, B) = frac∣AcapB∣min(∣A∣,∣B∣)\frac{|A \cap B|}{\min(|A|, |B|)}frac∣AcapB∣min(∣A∣,∣B∣)
- Ōtsuka(A, B) = frac∣AcapB∣sqrt∣A∣times∣B∣\frac{|A \cap B|}{\sqrt{|A| \times |B|}}frac∣AcapB∣sqrt∣A∣times∣B∣
filterSets
: restrict sets to only those elements in a pre-determined background, if provided, and only keep those that pass minimum and maximum size thresholds.clusterSets
: hierarchical clustering of highly similar sets. Used to reduce redundancy prior to analysis.decomposeSets
: decompose all pairs of sufficiently overlapping sets,$A$ and BBB, into 3 disjoint parts.- The elements unique to AAA: AsetminusBA \setminus BAsetminusB (“A minus B”)
- The elements unique to BBB: BsetminusAB \setminus ABsetminusA (“B minus A”)
- The elements common to both AAA and BBB: AcapBA \cap BAcapB (“A and B”)
invertSets
: swap positions of sets and elements so that elements become set names and set names become elements.cameraPR.matrix
: a fast matrix method forlimma::cameraPR
for testing molecular signatures in one or more contrasts. Pre-Ranked Correlation Adjusted MEan RAnk gene set testing (CAMERA-PR) accounts for inter-gene correlation to control the type I error rate (Wu & Smyth, 2012).enrichmap
: visualize molecular signature analysis results, such as those fromcameraPR.matrix
, as a bubble heatmap with signatures as rows and contrasts as columns.
