The Porcine Signature Database (PorSignDB) is a collection of annotated gene sets for use with GSEA software (http://software.broadinstitute.org/gsea/index.jsp). These gene sets were mostly derived from in vivo derived transcriptomic data, and describe a wide spectrum of (patho)physiological states of different tissue types. Only a minority of gene sets describe cell culture systems. Although the original data stems from pigs (Sus Scrofa), gene identifiers were adapted to human orthologs in order to fit into the MSigDB collection and facilitate its application to data from any mammalian species. Any additional questions can be sent to nicolaasvanrenne@hotmail.com
