rGREAT: an R/bioconductor package for functional enrichment on genomic regions

GREAT (Genomic Regions Enrichment of Annotations Tool) is a widely used tool for functional enrichment on genomic regions. However, as an online tool, it has limitations of outdated annotation data, small numbers of supported organisms and gene set collections, and not being extensible for users. Here, we developed a new R/Bioconductorpackage named rGREAT which implements the GREAT algorithm locally. rGREAT by default supports more than 600...
