Large sets of data, like expression profile from many samples, require

analytic tools to reduce their complexity.
 +
The '''Iterative Signature Algorithm (ISA)''' was designed to reduce the
 +
complexity of very large sets of data by decomposing it into so-called
 +
"modules". In the context of gene expression data these modules consist of
 +
subsets of genes that exhibit a coherent expression profile only over a
 +
subset of microarray experiments. Genes and arrays may be attributed to
 +
multiple modules and the level of required coherence can be varied resulting
 +
in different "resolutions" of the modular mapping. Since the ISA does not
 +
rely on the computation of correlation matrices (like many other tools), it
 +
is extremely fast even for very large datasets.

An ISA transcription module


Large sets of data, like expression profile from many samples, require analytic tools to reduce their complexity. The Iterative Signature Algorithm (ISA) was designed to reduce the complexity of very large sets of data by decomposing it into so-called "modules". In the context of gene expression data these modules consist of subsets of genes that exhibit a coherent expression profile only over a subset of microarray experiments. Genes and arrays may be attributed to multiple modules and the level of required coherence can be varied resulting in different "resolutions" of the modular mapping. Since the ISA does not rely on the computation of correlation matrices (like many other tools), it is extremely fast even for very large datasets.

Software for Gene expression data

We developed the eisa GNU R package to facilitate the modular analysis of gene expression data. The package uses standard BioConductor data structures and includes various visualization tools as well.

Requirements, download and installation

To use eisa you will need a working GNU R installation.

As of the 23rd of April, 2010, the eisa package is an official BioConductor package.

eisa depends on a number of other R packages: isa2, Biobase, AnnotationDbi, Category, genefilter, DBI. The good news is that all these dependencies are installed automatically, and all you need to do is to start R and type in

 source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
 biocLite("eisa")

at your R prompt. See the eisa package page at the BioConductor website for details.

Alternatively, you can also download the package from here:

License

The eisa package is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later. For details, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html.

Software for any tabular data

The ISA can be applied to identify coherent substructures (i.e. modules) from any rectangular matrix of data. You can use the isa2 R package for such an analysis.

Requirements

No additional R package is required to install and use isa2. But on Linux and Unix systems you will need a C compiler to install it. E.g. on Ubuntu Linux you will need to install the build-essential package.

Installation

The isa2 package is available from CRAN, the standard R package repository. You can install it on any platform that is supported by GNU R, e.g. Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX and Linux systems. To install it, start R and type in

 install.packages("isa2")

at the prompt. On Linux and Unix-like systems, you will need a working C compiler for a successful installation.
