is there anyway to investigate a specific pathway

Hello,

I would like to know if there is any way that I check for a specific pathway using my gene list ?

I have a list of genes which are unregulated and I only want to check if a specific pathway is activated or not

Thanks

r pathway analysis python gene

@reza.jabal DAVID is not the way to go, but thanks

Gene Set Clustering based on Functional annotation (GeneSCF)

try GeneSCF, simple command line tool accepts gene list and perform enrichment analysis in real-time (directly extract information from selected database). You can also choose between different database GO, KEGG, REACTOME.

Use GSEA http://software.broadinstitute.org/gsea/index.jsp I am assuming the pathway and the list of genes is same. It will give enrichment results if your pathway is upregulated or down regulated with p-values. Also you can search for your own pathways,curate your own pathways to look for enrichments in your data.
