Fast Permutation-based Gene Set Analysis

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.41.0

GSALightning provides a fast implementation of permutation-based gene set analysis for two-sample problem. This package is particularly useful when testing simultaneously a large number of gene sets, or when a large number of permutations is necessary for more accurate p-values estimation.
