Nested Effects Models to reconstruct phenotypic hierarchies

Bioconductor version: 2.5

The package ‘nem’ allows to reconstruct features of pathways from the nested structure of perturbation effects. It takes as input (1.) a set of pathway components, which were perturbed, and (2.) high-dimensional phenotypic readout of these perturbations (e.g. gene expression or morphological profiles). The output is a directed graph representing the phenotypic hierarchy.
