# Introduction
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) is the NLM (U.S. National Library of
Medicine) controlled vocabulary used to manually index articles for
MEDLINE/PubMed. MeSH is comprehensive life science vocabulary. MeSH has
19 categories and `MeSH.db` contains 16 of them. That is:

MeSH terms were associated with Entrez Gene ID by three methods,
`gendoo`, `gene2pubmed` and `RBBH` (Reciprocal Blast Best Hit).
|Method|Way of corresponding Entrez Gene IDs and MeSH IDs|
|------|-------------------------------------------------|
|Gendoo|Text-mining|
|gene2pubmed|Manual curation by NCBI teams|
|RBBH|sequence homology with BLASTP search (E-value<10<sup>-50</sup>)|
# Enrichment Analysis
`meshes` supports enrichment analysis (over-representation analysis and gene set
enrichment analysis) of gene list or whole expression profile using MeSH
annotation. Data source from `gendoo`, `gene2pubmed` and `RBBH` are all
supported. User can selecte interesting category to test. All 16
categories are supported. The analysis supports >70 species listed in [MeSHDb BiocView](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/BiocViews.html#___MeSHDb).
For algorithm details, please refer to the vignettes of `r Biocpkg("DOSE")`[@yu_dose_2015] package.
```{r}
library(meshes)
data(geneList, package="DOSE")
de <- names(geneList)[1:100]
x <- enrichMeSH(de, MeSHDb = "MeSH.Hsa.eg.db", database='gendoo', category = 'C')
head(x)
```
In the over-representation analysis, we use data source from `gendoo` and `C` (Diseases) category.
In the following example, we use data source from `gene2pubmed` and test category `G` (Phenomena and Processes) using GSEA.
```{r}
y <- gseMeSH(geneList, MeSHDb = "MeSH.Hsa.eg.db", database = 'gene2pubmed', category = "G")
head(y)
```
User can use visualization methods implemented in [DOSE](https://guangchuangyu.github.io/DOSE) (i.e.`barplot`, `dotplot`, `cnetplot`, `enrichMap`, `upsetplot` and `gseaplot`) to visualize these enrichment results. With these visualization methods, it's much easier to interpret enriched results.
```{r}
dotplot(x)
gseaplot(y, y[1,1], title=y[1,2])
```
# Semantic Similarity
`meshes` implemented four IC-based methods (i.e. Resnik[@philip_semantic_1999], Jiang[@jiang_semantic_1997],
Lin[@lin_information-theoretic_1998] and Schlicker[@schlicker_new_2006]) and one graph-structure based method (i.e. Wang[@wang_new_2007]). For algorithm details, please refer to the vignette of `r Biocpkg("GOSemSim")` package[@yu2010]
`meshSim` function is designed to measure semantic similarity between two MeSH term vectors.
```{r}
library(meshes)
## hsamd <- meshdata("MeSH.Hsa.eg.db", category='A', computeIC=T, database="gendoo")
data(hsamd)
meshSim("D000009", "D009130", semData=hsamd, measure="Resnik")
meshSim("D000009", "D009130", semData=hsamd, measure="Rel")
meshSim("D000009", "D009130", semData=hsamd, measure="Jiang")
meshSim("D000009", "D009130", semData=hsamd, measure="Wang")
meshSim(c("D001369", "D002462"), c("D017629", "D002890", "D008928"), semData=hsamd, measure="Wang")
```
`geneSim` function is designed to measure semantic similarity among two gene vectors.
```{r}
geneSim("241", "251", semData=hsamd, measure="Wang", combine="BMA")
geneSim(c("241", "251"), c("835", "5261","241", "994"), semData=hsamd, measure="Wang", combine="BMA")
```
