Description

This module is used to create a .gmt file given a list of genes.
Currently, it only parses info from GO terms.
Ideally, one can chose to parse info from GO, KEGG, Reactome, TF, etc.

  • update it so that it can parse info from different databases.
  • Or if there is any other alternative to mygene is also welcomed
