This function is deprecated due to nem dropping out of Bioconductor in BioC 4.0. This function generates the transitive reduction of the supplied graph. In short: if A->B->C AND A->C then edge A->C is removed. This is a simple convenience wrapper for the NEM function transitive.reduction. Be aware of implications on the edge weights!
