combineSources: Combine different sources of pathways

In BioCor: Functional similarities

Description

Given several sources of pathways with the same for the same id of the genes it merge them.

Usage

combineSources(...)

Arguments

...	Lists of genes and their pathways.

Details

It assumes that the identifier of the genes are the same for both sources but if many aren't equal it issues a warning. Only unique pathways identifiers are returned.

Value

A single list with the pathways of each source on the same gene.

Examples

DB1 <- list(g1 = letters[6:8], g2 = letters[1:5], g3 = letters[4:7])
DB2 <- list(g1 = c("one", "two"), g2 = c("three", "four"),
         g3 = c("another", "two"))
combineSources(DB1, DB2)
combineSources(DB1, DB1)
DB3 <- list(g1 = c("one", "two"), g2 = c("three", "four"),
         g4 = c("five", "six", "seven"), g5 = c("another", "two"))
combineSources(DB1, DB3) # A warning is expected
