Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) is a computational method that determines whether an a priori defined set of genes shows statistically
significant, concordant differences between two biological states
(e.g. phenotypes).

16-Jul-2018: MSigDB 6.2 released. This is a minor release that includes updates to gene set annotations, corrections to miscellaneous errors, and a handful of new gene sets. See the release notes for more information.
19-Oct-2017: MSigDB 6.1 released. See release notes for more information, including important corrections to gene sets in the C3 collection.
11-Aug-2017: Four new CHIP files are now available for use with data specified with Ensembl IDs, which are commonly used for gene expression derived from RNA-Seq data. More details are here.
01-Jul-2017: The production version of GSEA Desktop v3.0 is now available! It's open-source on GitHub, features SVG plots, Cytoscape 3.3+ support for Enrichment Maps, heatmap dataset export, and more.
06-Apr-2017: Version 6.0 of the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) is now available under a Creative Commons license, with additional terms for some sub-collections of gene sets. The release also includes updates to the C3 motif gene sets, and some other minor additions and corrections. See the Release Notes for details.
MSigDB needs your support! Many of you take advantage of the Hallmark collection of MSigDB to aid your interpretation of GSEA results. We are now preparing a research proposal to obtain funding to expand and enhance the collection. Our goal is to develop a new approach that will better elucidate and annotate component processes, thereby generating more coherent, accurate gene sets.
So, once again we ask for your help by sending us a short email telling us how you use MSigDB in your work, especially if you have found the Hallmarks collection useful. Please send your emails to gsea-los@broadinstitute.org on or before Friday September 28, 2018.
We're hiring! We are looking for a curator to join the GSEA-MSigDB project in the Mesirov Lab at UC San Diego.
