Abstract
Enrichment analysis is a popular method for analyzing gene sets generated by genome-wide experiments. Here we present a significant update to one of the tools in this domain called Enrichr. Enrichr currently contains a large collection of diverse gene set libraries available for analysis and download. In total, Enrichr currently contains 180 184 annotated gene sets from 102 gene set libraries. New features have been added to Enrichr including the ability to submit fuzzy sets, upload BED files, improved application programming interface and visualization of the results as clustergrams. Overall, Enrichr is a comprehensive resource for curated gene sets and a search engine that accumulates biological knowledge for further biological discoveries. Enrichr is freely available at: http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/Enrichr.

Ubiquitin-Specific Protease USP6 Regulates the Stability of the c-Jun Protein.

TL;DR: USP6 is an enzyme that deubiquitinates c-Jun and regulates its downstream cellular functions and many aberrant genes that are upregulated in USP6 translocated nodular fasciitis are great potential targets regulated by c- Jun.

Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of heavy cannabis exposure in a New Zealand longitudinal cohort.

TL;DR: The effects of cannabis use on the mature human blood methylome differ from, and are less pronounced than, the effects of tobacco use, and that larger sample sizes are required to investigate this further.

ESEA: Discovering the Dysregulated Pathways based on Edge Set Enrichment Analysis (SCI影响因子IF=5.5)

TL;DR: This work proposes a powerful computational method, Edge Set Enrichment Analysis (ESEA), for the identification of dysregulated pathways, and develops a freely available R-based tool of ESEA, which can support pathway analysis of the seven public databases.

DNA Methylation Trajectories During Pregnancy

TL;DR: Biological pathway analysis demonstrated that FDR-significant CpGs belong to genes overrepresented in metabolism-related pathways, such as adipose tissue development, regulation of insulin receptor signaling, and mammary gland fat development, which contribute to a better understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying important physiological alterations and adaptations for pregnancy and lactation.
