EMTscore infers divergent EMT pathways from omics data and enables rapid screening for EMT-associated gene sets
Abstract
<h4>Motivation</h4>Quantitative analyses of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) have been widely used in several areas of biomedical sciences due to its importance in development and cancer progression, but its multi-contextual nature requires standardization and implementation of gene set scoring methods beyond capacities of conventional tools.<h4>Results</h4>We developed EMTscore, a package that provides an efficient implementation of unbiased scoring methods for multiple EMT pathways using individual single-cell or bulk omics data, and the package allows rapid screening for cellular processes correlated with EMT.<h4>Availability and implementation</h4>EMTscore is available from GitHub https://github.com/wenmm/EMTscore under the GNU General Public License, and is uploaded on Zenodo with a DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19487376.
