BICORN (version 0.1.0)

data_integration: Data Initialization for BICORN

Description

Function 'data_integration' integrates the prior TF-gene binding network and gene expression data together. It will remove any genes missing either TF bindings or gene expression and identify a list of candidate cis-regulatory modules.

Usage

data_integration(Binding_matrix = NULL, Binding_TFs = NULL,
  Binding_genes = NULL, Exp_data, Exp_genes = NULL,
  Minimum_gene_per_module_regulate = 2)

Arguments

Binding_matrix

loaded prior binding network

Binding_TFs

loaded transcription factors

Binding_genes

loaded genes in the prior binding network

Exp_data

loaded properly normalized gene expression data

Exp_genes

loaded genes in the gene expression data

Minimum_gene_per_module_regulate

the minimum number of genes regulated by each module, used for candidate module filtering.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# load in the sample data input
data("sample.input")

# Data initialization (Integerate prior binding network and gene expression data)
BICORN_input<-data_integration(Binding_matrix = Binding_matrix, Binding_TFs = Binding_TFs,
Binding_genes = Binding_genes, Exp_data = Exp_data, Exp_genes = Exp_genes,
Minimum_gene_per_module_regulate = 2)
# }
