How to use MsigDB gene-sets in Gitools
======================================
The Molecular Signatures Database ( `MSigDB `_ ) contains an extensive
collection of gene sets that can be downloaded and used in Gitools. To do that follow these steps:
#. Go to `Downloads in MSigDB `_
#. You will have to login (or register if this is your first time in MSigDB)
#. You will see a list of links to download different collections of gene sets.
#. Click the collection you are interested to download. **Download in gmt format**, this is the format the Gitools understand.
#. You can download the gene sets with different gene ids (eg. symbol or entrez), you should use the same gene id as you have in your data.
#. Save the gmt file in your computer and it is ready to be used in an :doc:`Enrichment Analysis in Gitools ` .
