This section provides a summary of the paper by [Wünsch et al. (2023)](https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/wics.1643), which explores uncertainties inherent in functional enrichment analysis. The study critically examines the sources of variability and challenges in this analytical approach, offering insights into improving its reliability and robustness.

Functional enrichment analysis (FEA) typically involves one of over representation analysis (ORA), gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) also known as functional class scoring (FCS), and Pathway Topology (PT).

\- FCS can be classified as one of FCS I, those that take the expression data as input or FCS II that take a pre-ranked list of genes as input. With the latter, the information of the conditions (phenotypes) of the samples is lost, as such phenotype permutation cannot be performed leaving the choice of null hypothesis to gene set permutation.
