    • Loading of databases
      • Downloading through Google Drive can somethis cause trouble due to downloading limitations issued by Google. As an alternative approach, one can now download datasets using another host (server hosted by the University of Oslo), through the argument googledrive = FALSE in oncoEnrichR::load_db()
    • Protein-protein interactions
      • Users can opt to show isolated nodes (nodes with no interactions) or not - logical argument to onco_enrich(): ppi_show_isolated_nodes (default FALSE)
      • Added protein-protein interaction network based on interactions found in BioGRID
        • Users can set a minimum required threshold for the number of evidence items required for each interaction in BioGRID
        • New numerical argument to onco_enrich(): ppi_biogrid_min_evidence
      • Users can restrict the STRING network to physical interactions only or an extended network also including indirect ( functional ) interactions - API network type
        • New character argument to onco_enrich(): ppi_string_network_type (physical or functional)
      • Previous argument ppi_score_threshold is now named ppi_string_min_score, with a scale that goes from 0 to 1 (as opposed to 0-1000 in previous versions)
    • Subcellular compartment annotations
      • Now using the regularly updated COMPARTMENTS resource as the underlying source for annotation
      • Users can set a minimum confidence score for each target compartment annotation (range from 3 (least confident) to 5 (most confident)), as well as the required minimum number of channels ( Knowledge, Text mining or Experimental) that should support a given target compartment annotation
        • New arguments to onco_enrich(): subcellcomp_min_confidence, subcellcomp_min_channels
    • Annotation of oncogenic/tumor suppressive roles
      • A revised approach to assign roles as proto-oncogenes or tumor suppressors is implemented, in which we assign each role with a confidence level (Moderate/Strong/Very strong) pending upon support in manually curated resources (Network of Cancer Genes (NCG) or Cancer Gene Census (CGC)) or support in the biomedical literature (CancerMine)
    • Cancer driver annotation
      • A more conservative approach for driver gene status is implemented: requiring support from at least two distinct resources (Network of Cancer Genes (NCG), Cancer Gene Census, TCGA, IntOGen, or CancerMine)
    • Argument renaming - Renamed arguments to onco_enrich() for improved naming consistency:
      • ppi_string_min_score
      • ppi_string_network_type
      • ppi_biogrid_min_evidence
      • ppi_show_drugs
      • ppi_show_isolated_nodes
      • regulatory_min_confidence
      • enrichment_p_value_cutoff
      • enrichment_q_value_cutoff
      • enrichment_p_value_adj
      • enrichment_plot_num_terms
      • enrichment_simplify_go

      • enrichment_min_geneset_size
      • subcellcomp_min_confidence
      • subcellcomp_show_cytosol
      • subcellcomp_min_channels
    • Other
      • added oncoEnrichR favicon to output HTML reports
