createBipartiteNet: Plot microRNA-gene interaction network

In YC3/mirNet: microRNA netowrk analyses

Description

createBipartiteNet takes as input the output table of microRNA targets from mirDIP, and generates the microRNA-gene interaction network.

Usage

createBipartiteNet(
  miRNAs,
  filename,
  layout = layout_nicely,
  size.gene = 7,
  size.miR = 3
)

Arguments

miRNAs	The output table from mirDIP.
filename	The desired name of the files storing igraph network object.
layout	The layout function to apply to a graph, refer to layout_ for more details
size.gene	The size of the circles representing genes.
size.miR	The size of the squares representing microRNAs.

Details

This function generates a bipartite network and plots the network out with two classes of vertices of different colors and shapes.

Value

Two rda files storing 1) the microRNA-gene interaction network object and 2) the largest connected subnetwork. A plot of the largest connected subnetwork in PDF.

See Also

igraph for all available layouts.

Examples

createBipartiteNet(miRNAs, filename = 'Example_network', layout = layout_nicely, size.gene = 7, size.miR = 3)
