Description
Summary:Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a powerful algorithm to determine biased pathways between groups based on expression profiling. However, for fruit fly, a popular animal model, gene matrixes for GSEA are unavailable. This study provides the pathway-targeting gene matrixes based on Reactome and KEGG database for fruit fly. An expression profiling containing neurons or glia of fruit fly was used to validate the feasibility of the generated gene matrixes. We validated the gene matrixes and identified characteristic neuronal and glial pathways, including mRNA splicing and endocytosis. In conclusion, we generated and validated the feasibility of Reactome and KEGG gene matrix files, which may benefit future profiling studies using Drosophila.
