Spearman correlation

The Spearman correlation between two variables is equal to the Pearson correlation between the rank values of those two variables. Spearman correlation ranges from -1.0 to 1.0. A Spearman correlation value close to 1.0 (-1.0) indicates a strong positive (negative) monotonic relationships (whether linear or not) . 

Preranked GSEA enrichment analysis

This function runs Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) against a ranked list of genes based on correlation values or other measurements. A statistically significant enrichment indicates that the pathway characterized by the gene set is correlated with the user-supplied ranking.

Adjusted Rand Index

The Rand index is a measure of the similarity between two data clusterings. The adjusted Rand index is the corrected-for-chance version of the Rand index. The adjusted Rand index close to 1 indicating the high similarity between two data clusterings.

Data upload

Upload your 2 OMICS data files w/ or w/o sample annotation file via above upload form to start the integration analysis. Normally, the data should contain at least 10 samples. The data file must be prepared according to the FORMAT requirements and the file size must be less than 50M bytes. Click the submit button to initiate search.

Optionally, click sample submit button to initiate analysis using sample data.

The data matrices were firstly checked and filtered by overlapped genes and samples for further downstream integration and comparison analysis. For each overlapped gene, Spearman??s correlation is calculated across overlapped samples. The results are shown in the table and also downloadable in the result page. A correlation histogram is provided to visualize the consistency between two omics data from the gene-wise dimension. The correlation ranked gene list is further input into Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) for pathway enrichment analysis using GSEApy (version 0.7.0) (https://github.com/BioNinja/gseapy). The significantly highly and lowly correlated pathways were listed in table. Clicking gene name and pathway name could lead to scatter plot of gene expression between two omics data and GSEA plot of significantly correlated pathway.

For individual sample, sample-wise Spearman??s correlation is also calculated across overlapped genes and set as sample index for further analysis. If the sample annotation information is provided, the t test of sample index between one group and left groups will be done group by group. If any test show significance, the significance will be labelled with * in the bar plot of sample index. To identify genes associated with the sample phenotypes, we calculated correlation between the sample phenotypes and gene expressions across different samples. The ranked list is also input for pathway enrichment analysis as described in the gene-wise correlation section. Similar as those in gene-wise section, tables and figures for genes and significant pathways are also provided.

Clustering integration

Clustering comparison

 

 

Sample heterogeneity is investigated using clustering analysis in this section. Four types of clustering are construct based on four different gene sets: the first using top half correlated genes in the first omics dataset; the second using top half correlated genes in the second omics dataset; the third using bottom half correlated genes in the first omics dataset; the fourth using bottom half correlated genes in the second omics dataset. The above four different group information and annotation information of the samples were gathered in a clustering heatmap, and adjusted Rand index (ARI) is calculated between different groups and displayed in ARI heatmap. ARI, a similarity measure between two clusters, has a value close to 0.0 for random labelling independently of the number of clusters and samples and exactly 1.0 when the clusters are identical.

Differential analysis module is available when sample annotation file is provided by the user. To start differential analysis, two annotation groups must be selected firstly. For each gene, fold change will be calculated between two groups in the first omics and the second omics data, separately. Scatter plot will be draw to show the fold change correlation between two dataset. For individual gene, the boxplot is provided. By the absolute value of log2 fold change, genes are also ranked for GSEA analysis to find the consistent/different differential pathways between two omics dataset. For each pathway, enrichment plot and scatter plot are provided.
