xDAGanno: Function to generate a subgraph of a direct acyclic graph (DAG) induced by the input annotation data

Description

xDAGanno is supposed to produce a subgraph induced by the input annotation data, given a direct acyclic graph (DAG; an ontology). The input is a graph of "igraph", a list of the vertices containing annotation data, and the mode defining the paths to the root of DAG. The induced subgraph contains vertices (with annotation data) and their ancestors along with the defined paths to the root of DAG. The annotations at these vertices (including their ancestors) can also be updated according to the true-path rule: those annotated to a term should also be annotated by its all ancestor terms.

Usage

xDAGanno(g, annotation, path.mode = c("all_paths", "shortest_paths",
"all_shortest_paths"), true.path.rule = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

g

an object of class "igraph" to represent DAG

annotation

the vertices/nodes for which annotation data are provided. It can be a sparse Matrix of class "dgCMatrix" (with variants/genes as rows and terms as columns), or a list of nodes/terms each containing annotation data, or an object of class 'GS' (basically a list for each node/term with annotation data)

path.mode

the mode of paths induced by vertices/nodes with input annotation data. It can be "all_paths" for all possible paths to the root, "shortest_paths" for only one path to the root (for each node in query), "all_shortest_paths" for all shortest paths to the root (i.e. for each node, find all shortest paths with the equal lengths)

true.path.rule

logical to indicate whether the true-path rule should be applied to propagate annotations. By default, it sets to true

verbose

logical to indicate whether the messages will be displayed in the screen. By default, it sets to true for display

Value

• subg: an induced subgraph, an object of class "igraph". In addition to the original attributes to nodes and edges, the return subgraph is also appended by two node attributes: 1) "anno" containing a list of variants/genes either as original annotations (and inherited annotations; 2) "IC" standing for information content defined as negative 10-based log-transformed frequency of variants/genes annotated to that term.
