RefNet (version 1.8.0)

detectDuplicateInteractions: detectDuplicateInteractions

Description

Assign a shared "dupGroup" number to each duplicated interaction, here defined as A.canonical, type, B.canonical. All other information about the interaction is ignored. An A-B interaction is treated the same as a B-A interaction. This assessment prepares a possibly large interaction set for scrutiny by eye, or programmatically, for filtering, in which a single preferred interaction can be selected, out of each dupGroup, for further use.

Usage

detectDuplicateInteractions(tbl)

Arguments

tbl

a data.frame, returned by interactions method

Value

A data.frame identical to the one passed as an argument, but with one additional column "dupGroup". dupGroup 0 (zero) contains all of the interactions which have NO duplicates.
