Description

Provides a lightweight container and exchange format for gene set collections. A 'GSON' object stores which genes belong to which gene set, together with gene set and gene names, the identifier types in use, species, versions and source metadata. A collection can be built from data frames, read from and written to the 'gson' JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format and the 'GMT' format, subset by gene set, merged across sources, validated, and resolved to the web addresses of the databases it comes from, so that a collection gathered by one package can be analysed by another.
