<a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/cancer/software/gsea/wiki/index.php/MSigDB_XML_description">GSEA Home</a> | <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/downloads.jsp">Downloads</a> | <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/msigdb/">Molecular Signatures Database</a> | Documentation | <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/contact.jsp">Contact</a>

Major changes in Release 3.0 of the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) include the following:

  • We have extensively reviewed and expanded the C2 collection.
  • MSigDB gene sets now support human Entrez Gene IDs.
  • We have modified the MSigDB XML file format to support human Entrez Gene IDs.
  • A bug in the Compute Overlaps algorithm has been fixed.
  • MSigDB v2.5 files archived

Gene Sets Update

The following describes the changes made to the gene set collections for MSigDB v3.0.

Size Filtering

All collections have been filtered according to size in the following ways:

  • if a gene set was not in the C2:CGP subcollection, then it needed to have 10 or more human gene symbols associated with it to be included in the v3.0 release
  • if a gene set was in the C2:CGP subcollection, then it needed to have 5 or more human gene symbols associated with it to be included in the v3.0 release

C1: Positional gene sets

No changes were made in the C1 gene sets.  For a description of this collection, see the <a href="http://www.broad.mit.edu/gsea/msigdb/collections.jsp">Browse Collections</a> page. 

C2: Curated gene sets (+1,380)

The C2 collection consists of gene sets collected from various sources such as online pathway databases, publications in PubMed, and knowledge of domain experts.  Gene sets in this collection have been extensively revised and expanded.

Note that all the gene set names for C2 have changed.  Many of the names used in v2.5 were confusing or wrong, so these have been clarified or corrected.  For CGP, the new naming convention is that all gene set names begin with the surname of the first author of the source paper.  For CP, the names now begin with the contributor organization.

  • CGP: chemical and genetic perturbations (2,392 gene sets). See <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/cancer/software/gsea/wiki/index.php/Msigdb_mapping_v2.5_to_v3">this page</a> for information about MSigDB 2.5 gene sets that have been renamed, retired, recombined, or replaced in the MSigDB 3.0 release.  All these gene sets have been reviewed extensively, manually inspected, and verified against the original sources.  During the reviewing process, we have applied changes to many existing gene sets and their contents, as follows:
    • added exact source of the gene set in each publication (e.g., Table 1)
    • added GEO or ArrayExpress ID when available
    • changed the brief description of the gene set; added links to human Entrez Gene entries and PubChem Compound entries as appropriate
    • used the original gene identifiers as reported in the source paper (not all gene sets did this originally)
    • verified the gene set contents and made corrections when necessary resolved cases of redundant gene sets
    In addition, we made an aggressive effort to identify new gene sets and add them to the database, using the same stringent set of criteria for reviewing these new additions.
  • CP: canonical pathways (880 gene sets). We have replaced all gene sets in this collection with the most up-to-date sets from BioCarta, KEGG, and Reactome, deprecating redundant sets and consolidating the updated versions.  We retrieved human pathways from the KEGG and BioCarta websites, and Reactome contributed their pathways in collaboration with MSigDB.  All sets from KEGG and BioCarta have been replaced with newer versions.  The Reactome sets were prepared from the v33 Reactome summer 2010 release.  We applied the following filters to this data:
    • Source priority: KEGG > Reactome > BioCarta
    • Size priority: keep the set with the smaller size
    • Name length priority: keep the set with the shorter name
    • External ID priority: keep the set with the smaller ID 
    There are 3 third-level subcollections for C2CP: Biocarta (217 gene sets), KEGG (186 gene sets), and Reactome (430 gene sets)

C3: Motif gene sets

A user reported an error in the Brief Description of the gene set "V$NRF2_01". The error has been corrected and new Brief Description for this set appears in the new release. Members of the gene set remain unchanged.  All uncategorized gene sets in this collection have been assigned to the TFT subcollection.

No other changes were made in the C3 gene sets.  For a description of this collection, see the <a href="http://www.broad.mit.edu/gsea/msigdb/collections.jsp">Browse Collections</a> page.

C4: Computational gene sets

No changes were made in the C4 gene sets.  For a description of this collection, see the <a href="http://www.broad.mit.edu/gsea/msigdb/collections.jsp">Browse Collections</a> page.

C5: Gene Ontology gene sets

No changes were made in the C5 gene sets.  For a description of this collection, see the <a href="http://www.broad.mit.edu/gsea/msigdb/collections.jsp">Browse Collections</a> page.

Other Updates

XML Format Changes

The XML format and tags have changed.  See <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/cancer/software/gsea/wiki/index.php/MSigDB_XML_description">this page</a> for more information.

Entrez IDs Now Supported

All gene sets now have Entrez IDs as well as human gene symbols, and alternate GMT files are included on the <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/downloads.jsp">Downloads</a> page.  In addition, we have added a new CHIP file that maps Entrez IDs to human gene symbols.  Therefore, data files analyzed in GSEA can now use Entrez IDs.

Compute Overlaps Error Corrected

A user-reported bug in the Compute Overlaps algorithm has been corrected, improving the quality of the P values.

MSigDB v2.5 Files

The MSigDB v2.5 files are archived and are still available for download on the <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsea/downloads.jsp">Downloads</a> page
