I am trying to runing the example of clusterprofiler from  "http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/vignettes/clusterProfiler/inst/doc/clusterProfiler.html#abstract" and "https://guangchuangyu.github.io/2016/05/convert-biological-id-with-kegg-api-using-clusterprofiler/". I got an question in BgRatio column. Why these two example have a big different in background genes? I check the newest database of human KEGG pathway. It only has the 7192 genes. Am I make a mistake?

in bioconductor's example, the background genes have 7164. 

kk <- enrichKEGG(gene         = gene,
                 organism     = 'hsa',
                 pvalueCutoff = 0.05)
head(kk)

...

in github's example, the background genes have 9275.

x <- enrichKEGG(np2up[,2], organism='hsa', keyType='uniprot')

the number change since your input keyType was change.

The acutal gene annotation is 7164 (may change when KEGG updated), this annotation is based on ENTREZGENEID. When we mappped the gene ID to uniprot, the number of protein annotated increase since multiple mapping exists (ID mapping is not alwasy 1-to-1).

Thanks a lot ! I am trying to imply it into differentially expression genes list from my projects. And I had try these two methods. The number of genes in the same enriched KEGG pathway are different and consequently results to the KEGG pathway rank differently. So that I can only put my gene list into bioconductor's example? I can't convert my gene list into uniprot ID to analysis?

it depends whether your input list is at gene level or protein level.

Thanks. I have a another question. why setReadable function can't support in enrichKEGG function output with entrenz gene ID but can be used in uniprot ID. I had google that the  previously version had the readable parameter, but it is useless now.

`setReadable` function is always exists and work with enrichKEGG output.

 

I guess you mean the `readable` parameter.

 

Since now enrichKEGG work with online data and support more than 4000 species. For most of the speices, there are no data to support ID conversion. So `readable` parameter was removed since enrichKEGG supports using online data.

 

For those species that have OrgDb object/package available, you can still convert ID using `setReadable` function.

 

If some ID types can work for you and some cannot. Follow the guide, https://guangchuangyu.github.io/2016/07/how-to-bug-author/, and post a reproducible example.

Thank you very much! It is the reason that I am not using the newest version of clusterProfilier. It might be the reason of my Bioconducter(V3.3) is not the newest version. So when I following the installation instructions as:

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("clusterProfiler")

It download the clusterProfiler 3.0.5 automatically. But the up to date version is 3.2.8.

The release version of Bioconductor is 3.4.

 

You should use the latest clusterProfiler.

 

see `setReadable` session in https://guangchuangyu.github.io/2016/05/convert-biological-id-with-kegg-api-using-clusterprofiler/

 

If your input gene list is entrez gene IDs.

You can use something like:

 

y <- setReadable(x, 'org.Hs.eg.db', keytype="ENTREZID")

Thanks! It works fine now!
