InterPro Protein domain based gene set library
Recently I wanted to know whether genes with methyltransferase domains were upregulated in my dataset. This isn't currently captured in the major gene set databases as far as I know. I dug into some older files of mine and found that the InterPro protein domain information is actually included in Ensembl BioMart and it's relatively staightforward to convert this to GMT format for pathway analysis.
TLDR; Here is a link to the human GMT file for use in GSEA and other pathway analysis
Please cite the recent InterPro paper if you use this in your research: Mitchell et al 2019, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30398656
If you are interested in learning how it was made, read on.
Then click "Attributes". Here you can select the bits of information you want. Select only the following atributes and click the boxes in the order shown

Method
1- Obtaining InterPro data from Ensembl BioMart
Head to https://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview and select the human database.
Then click "Attributes". Here you can select the bits of information you want. Select only the following atributes and click the boxes in the order shown
- Gene stable ID
- Interpro ID (under "External")
- Interpro Short Description (under "Protein domains and families")
- Interpro Description
- HGNC symbol
Then click on the "Results" button in the top left of the page - it should look like this. If the columns are in a different order, then go back and try again.
2- Reformatting into GMT format
Copy the mart_export.txt file into the current working directory, then run the following bash script. The script has been saved to a Gist for posterity (https://gist.github.com/markziemann/3fc0c90e59c508c66067681a6c6dc3a1)
======================
#!/bin/bash
# This script creates a GMT file of genesets classified by protein domains
# First need to obtain some data from ensembl biomart
# Go to https://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview/
# Select human database
# Select the following attributes:
# - Gene stable ID
# - Interpro ID
# - Interpro Short Description
# - Interpro Description
# - HGNC symbol
DAT=mart_export.txt
for IPR in $(cut -f2 $DAT | sed 1d | sort -u ) ; do
NAME=$(grep -wm1 $IPR $DAT | cut -f4)
grep -w $IPR $DAT | cut -f5 | sort -u | paste -s | sed "s#^#${NAME}\t${IPR}\t#"
done > ipr.gmt
======================
The result is exactly what I wanted:
$ head -4 ipr.gmt
Kringle IPR000001 F12 F2 HABP2 HGF HGFAC KREMEN1 KREMEN2 LPA MST1 PIK3IP1 PLAT PLAU PLG PRSS12ROR1 ROR2
Retinoid X receptor/HNF4 IPR000003 HNF4A NR2E3 RXRA RXRB RXRG
Metallothionein, vertebrate IPR000006 MT1A MT1B MT1E MT1F MT1G MT1H MT1HL1 MT1M MT1X MT2A MT3 MT4
Tubby, C-terminal IPR000007 TUB TULP1 TULP2 TULP3 TULP4
And there's a nice list of methyltransferases for me to use in downstream analysis
