  metabolic_network,
  detected_metabolites,
  threads = 8,
  max.reaction = 3
)

Arguments

metabolic_network	An 'igraph' object representing the metabolic reaction network.
detected_metabolites	A character vector of detected metabolite IDs.
threads	Integer; number of parallel threads to use. Default is '3'.
max.reaction	Integer; maximum number of reaction steps allowed to define a hidden metabolite. Default is '3'.

Value

A list of hidden metabolites connected to detected metabolites within the specified reaction steps.
