You can use the grep function in R to select specific disease-related terms, such as amyloid-related or stress-related terms, from a list or vector of terms. Here is an example of how you can use the grep function to select these terms:

# Assume that you have a vector of terms called "terms"

# Select terms containing the word "amyloid"

amyloid_terms

@Kaushik Mukhopadhyay, thank you. got it. I subset the slot I needed as df from my result (I needed other elements, so I couldn't make a vector), used the grep function to differentially select the terms, then rbind them

One approach you could use to select specific disease-related terms for visualization in R using the clusterProfiler package is to use the filter function to subset the enrichment results based on the desired criteria.

For example, suppose you have an enrichment analysis object called enrich_result and you want to select all terms related to amyloid and stress for visualization. You could use the following code:

# Select terms related to amyloid

amyloid_terms

Alternatively, you could use the grep function to search for specific terms within the term column of the enrichment results, and then use the resulting indices to subset the data frame:

# Find indices of terms related to amyloid and stress

amyloid_indices
