estimateCF:
Function to estimate multi-subunit protein complexes and gene families in a pathway
Description
Function estimates the multi-subunit protein complexes and gene families in a pathway. A protein complex consists of proteins connected by undirected binding interaction. A gene family is a set of nodes with same outgoing and/or incomig edges.
Usage
estimateCF(graph)
Arguments
graph
An object of class Pathway
Value
complexes
A list of estimated protein complexes'
famillies
A list of estimated gene famillies
The function attempts to assign a representative name to each gene family. The representative name is a common part of the names of individual genes. This approach, however, may lead to ambiguities or missings. Then a general name in a form of family1, family2, etc. All the complexes are named analogously as complex1, complex2.
