The CollecTRI-derived regulons contain signed transcription factor (TF) - target gene interactions compiled from 12 different resources. This collection provides an increased coverage of transcription factors and was benchmarked against other known GRNs, showing a superior performance in identifying perturbed TFs based on gene expression data using the knockTF data sets.
The CollecTRI regulons are available in the DoRothEA and decoupler packages through OmniPath.
A tutorial on how to perform TF activity estimation using CollecTRI is available in python (recommended) and in R (deprecated).
To load the CollecTRI regulons through python or R you can use the following lines:
import decoupler as dc
dc.op.collectri(organism='human')decoupleR::get_collectri(organism='human', split_complexes=FALSE)ExTRI, HTRI, TRRUST, TFActS, IntAct, SIGNOR, CytReg, GEREDB, Pavlidis, DoRothEA A, NTNU curations
