An R/Bioconductor package for gene set analysis
Overview of piano
Gene set analysis using a variety of methods
Piano is used for running gene set analysis (GSA) using a selection of available methods (some of which are also implemented in separate packages or other software) and starting from different kinds of gene level statistics. The advantage with using piano is that all of these methods can be run using the same setup, resulting in minimal effort for the user when switching between methods.
