networkSimplify: Simplify sif network into igraph network graph object

In netboxr: netboxr

Description

This function removes duplicated edges and loops to create an igraph graph object from tab delimited sif formatted network file.

Usage

networkSimplify(sifNetwork, directed = FALSE)

Arguments

sifNetwork	A file with sif network format (There are three columns in the file separated by tab, nodeA interactionType nodeB )
directed	Logical, treat network as directed or undirected graph
