Installation
To install and load methylGSA
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE))
install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install("methylGSA")Depending on the DNA methylation array type, other packages may be needed before running the analysis.
If analyzing 450K array, IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19 needs to be loaded.
If analyzing EPIC array, IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b4.hg19 needs to be loaded.
If analyzing user-supplied mapping between CpG ID and gene name, neither IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19 nor IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b4.hg19 needs to be loaded.
Introduction
The methylGSA package contains functions to carry out gene set analysis adjusting for the number of CpGs per gene. It has been shown by Geeleher et al [1] that gene set analysis is extremely biased for DNA methylation data. This package contains three main functions to adjust for the bias in gene set analysis.
methylglm: Incorporating number of CpGs as a covariate in logistic regression.
methylRRA: Adjusting for multiple p-values of each gene by Robust Rank Aggregation [2], and then apply either over-representation analysis (ORA) or Preranked version of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEAPreranked) [3] in gene set testing.
methylgometh: Adjusting the number of CpGs for each gene by weighted resampling and Wallenius non-central hypergeometric approximation (via missMethyl [4]).

Description of methylglm
methylglm is an extention of GOglm [9]. GOglm adjusts length bias for RNA-Seq data by incorporating gene length as a covariate in logistic regression model. methylglm adjusts length bias in DNA methylation by the number of CpGs instead of gene length. For each gene set, we fit a logistic regression model:
\[ \text{logit} (\pi_{i}) = \beta_{0} + \beta_{1}x_{i} + \beta_{2}c_{i}\] For each gene \(i\), \(\pi_{i}\) = Pr(gene \(i\) is in gene set), \(x_{i}\) represents negative logarithmic transform of its minimum p-value in differential methylation analysis, and \(c_{i}\) is logarithmic transform of its number of CpGs.
methylglm requires only a simple named vector. This vector contains p-values of each CpG. Names should be their corresponding CpG IDs.
Example
Here is what the input vector looks like:

Description of methylRRA
Robust rank aggregation [2] is a parameter free model that aggregates several ranked gene lists into a single gene list. The aggregation assumes random order of input lists and assign each gene a p-value based on order statistics. We apply this order statistics idea to adjust for number of CpGs.
For gene \(i\), let \(P_{1}, P_{2}, ... P_{n}\) be the p-values of individual CpGs in differential methylation analysis. Under the null hypothesis, \(P_{1}, P_{2}, ... P_{n} ~ \overset{i.i.d}{\sim} Unif[0, 1]\). Let \(P_{(1)}, P_{(2)}, ... P_{(n)}\) be the order statistics. Define: \[\rho = \text{min}\{\text{Pr}(P_{(1)}<P_{(1)\text{obs}}), \text{Pr}(P_{(2)}<P_{(2)\text{obs}})..., \text{Pr}(P_{(n)}<P_{(n)\text{obs}}) \} \]
methylRRA supports two approaches to adjust for number of CpGs, ORA and GSEAPreranked [3]. In ORA approach, for gene \(i\), conversion from \(\rho\) score into p-value is done by Bonferroni correction [2]. We get a p-value for each gene and these p-values are then corrected for multiple testing use Benjamini & Hochberg procedure [10]. By default, genes with False Discovery Rate (FDR) below 0.05 are considered differentially expressed (DE) genes. If there are no DE genes under FDR 0.05, users are able to use sig.cut option to specify a higher FDR cut-off or topDE option to declare top genes to be differentially expressed. We then apply ORA based on these DE genes.
In GSEAPreranked approach, for gene \(i\), we also convert \(\rho\) score into p-value by Bonferroni correction. p-values are converted into z-scores. We then apply Preranked version of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEAPreranked) on the gene list ranked by the z-scores.
Example
To apply ORA approach, we use argument method = "ORA" (default) in methylRRA
The meaning of each column in the output is given below.
| Column | Explanation |
|---|---|
| ID | Gene set ID |
| Description (N/A for user supplied gene set) | Gene set description |
| Count | Number of significant genes in the gene set |
| overlap | Names of significant genes in the gene set |
| Size | Number of genes in gene set |
| pvalue | p-value in ORA |
| padj | Adjusted p-value |
To apply GSEAPreranked approach, we use argument method = "GSEA" in methylRRA
The meaning of each column in the output is given below.
| Column | Explanation |
|---|---|
| ID | Gene set ID |
| Description (N/A for user supplied gene set) | Gene set description |
| Size | Number of genes in gene set |
| enrichmentScore | Enrichment score (see [3] for details) |
| NES | Normalized enrichment score (see [3] for details) |
| pvalue | p-value in GSEA |
| padj | Adjusted p-value |
Description of methylgometh
methylgometh calls gometh or gsameth function in missMethyl package [4] to adjust number of CpGs in gene set testing. gometh modifies goseq method [11] by fitting a probability weighting function and resampling from Wallenius non-central hypergeometric distribution.
methylgometh requires two inputs, cpg.pval and sig.cut. sig.cut specifies the cut-off point to declare a CpG as differentially methylated. By default, sig.cut is 0.001. Similar to methylRRA, if no CpG is significant, users are able to specify a higher cut-off or use topDE option to declare top CpGs to be differentially methylated.
Other options
methylGSA provides many other options for users to customize the analysis.
array.typeis to specify which array type to use. It is either “450K” or “EPIC”. Default is “450K”. This argument will be ignored ifFullAnnotis provided.FullAnnotis preprocessed mapping between CpG ID and gene name provided by prepareAnnot function. Default is NULL. Check example below for details.groupis the type of CpG to be considered in methylRRA or methylglm. By default,groupis “all”, which means all CpGs are considered regardless of their gene group. Ifgroupis “body”, only CpGs on gene body will be considered. Ifgroupis “promoter1” or “promoter2”, only CpGs on promoters will be considered. Based on the annotation in IlluminaHumanMethylation450kanno.ilmn12.hg19 and IlluminaHumanMethylationEPICanno.ilm10b4.hg19, “body”, “promoter1” and “promoter2” are defined as:- body: CpGs whose gene group correspond to “Body” or “1stExon”
- promoter1: CpGs whose gene group correspond to “TSS1500” or “TSS200”
- promoter2: CpGs whose gene group correspond to “TSS1500”, “TSS200”, “1stExon”, or “5’UTR”
GS.listis user supplied gene sets to be tested. It should be a list with entry names gene set IDs and elements correpond to genes that gene set contain. If there is no input list, Gene Ontology is used by default.GS.idtypeis the type of gene ID in user supplied gene sets. IfGS.listis not empty, then the user is expected to provide gene ID type. Supported ID types are “SYMBOL”, “ENSEMBL”, “ENTREZID”, “REFSEQ”. Default is “SYMBOL”.GS.typeis the published gene sets/pathways to be tested ifGS.listis empty. Supported pathways are “GO” (Gene Ontology), “KEGG”, and “Reactome”. Default is “GO”.minsizeis an integer. If the number of genes in a gene set is less than this integer, this gene set is not tested. Default is 100.maxsizeis also an integer. If the number of genes in a gene set is greater than this integer, this gene set is not tested. Default is 500.- In methylRRA,
methodis to specify gene set test method. It is either “ORA” or “GSEA” as described in the previous section. Default is “ORA”. - In methylglm,
parallelis eitherTRUEorFALSEindicating whether parallel should be used. Default isFALSE.
Examples
An example of user supplied gene sets is given below. The gene ID type is gene symbol.
