g:Profiler

Top Term in each Data Source

GO biological process

Top term: immune system process (GO:0002376)
Number of genes in geneset: 2683
Number of genes in both query and geneset: 287

Reactome

Top term: Immune System (REAC:R-HSA-168256)
Number of genes in geneset: 2041
Number of genes in both query and geneset: 217

WikiPathways

Top term: TYROBP causal network in microglia (WP:WP3945)
Number of genes in geneset: 60
Number of genes in both query and geneset: 27

Changing size of returned geneses

The g:Profiler settings were set to limit genesets to those between 5 and 200 genes in size. The top term for GO biological process and Reactome changed, while the top term for WikiPathways is the same.

Top Term in each Data Source (size of genesets: 5-200)

GO biological process

Top term: antigen processing and presentation (GO:0019882)
Number of genes in geneset: 108
Number of genes in both query and geneset: 40

Reactome

Top term: Immunoregulatory interactions between a Lymphoid and a non-Lymphoid cell (REAC:R-HSA-198933)
Number of genes in geneset: 181
Number of genes in both query and geneset: 46

WikiPathways

Top term: TYROBP causal network in microglia (WP:WP3945)
Number of genes in geneset: 60
Number of genes in both query and geneset: 27

Ovarian cancer subtype

Since the top terms are mostly related to the immune system, this list likely represents the immunoreactive ovarian cancer expression subtype.

TFEC

The TFEC gene is returned in the following GO biological process terms:

  • response to stimulus (GO:0050896)
  • response to stress (GO:0006950)
  • cellular response to stimulus (GO:0051716)
  • positive regulation of biological process (GO:0048518)

The TFEC gene is not returned in any Reactome or WikiPathways terms.
