There are many methods that allow us to extract biological activities
from omics data. decoupleR is a Bioconductor package containing
different statistical methods to extract biological signatures from
prior knowledge within a unified framework. Additionally, it
incorporates methods that take into account the sign and weight of
network interactions. decoupleR can be used with any omic, as long as
its features can be linked to a biological process based on prior
knowledge. For example, in transcriptomics gene sets regulated by a
transcription factor, or in phospho-proteomics phosphosites that are
targeted by a kinase. This is the R version, for its faster and memory
efficient Python implementation go
