In netZoo/netZooR: Unified methods for the inference and analysis of gene regulatory networks

Find the subnetwork of significant edges connecting the genes.

Description

Find the subnetwork of significant edges connecting the genes.

Usage

BuildSubnetwork(
  geneSet,
  networks,
  alpha,
  hopConstraint,
  nullDistribution,
  verbose = FALSE,
  topX = NULL,
  doFDRAdjustment = TRUE,
  pValueChunks = 100,
  loadPValues = FALSE,
  pValueFile = "pvalues.RDS"
)

Arguments

geneSet	A character vector of genes comprising the targets of interest.
networks	A list of bipartite (PANDA-like) networks, where each network is a data frame with the following format: tf,gene,score
alpha	The significance cutoff for the statistical test.
hopConstraint	The maximum number of hops to be considered between gene pairs. Must be an even number.
nullDistribution	The null distribution, specified as a vector of values.
verbose	Whether or not to print detailed information about the run.
topX	Select the X lowest significant p-values for each gene. NULL by default.
doFDRAdjustment	Whether or not to perform FDR adjustment.
pValueChunks	The number of chunks to split when calculating the p-value. This parameter allows the edges to be split into chunks to prevent memory errors.
loadPValues	Whether p-values should be loaded from pValueFile or re-generated. Default is FALSE.
pValueFile	The file where the p-values should be saved. If NULL, they are not saved and need to be recalculated.

Value

A bipartite subnetwork in the same format as the original networks.
