Retrieve a data frame of gene sets and their member genes. The available species and collections can be checked with msigdbr_species() and msigdbr_collections().

Usage

msigdbr(species = "Homo sapiens", category = NULL, subcategory = NULL)

Arguments

species

Species name, such as Homo sapiens or Mus musculus.

category

MSigDB collection abbreviation, such as H or C1.

subcategory

MSigDB sub-collection abbreviation, such as CGP or BP.

Value

A data frame of gene sets with one gene per row.
