KEGG pathways
To aid interpretation of differential expression results, a common technique is to test for enrichment in known gene sets. The KEGG database contains curated sets of genes that are known to interact in the same biological pathway. Which KEGG pathways are over-represented in the differentially expressed genes from the leukemia study?
