graph (version 1.50.0)

runDEGraph: Run a topological analysis on an expression dataset using DEGraph package.

Description

DEGraph implements recent hypothesis testing methods which directly assess whether a particular gene network is differentially expressed between two conditions.

Usage

runDEGraph(x, expr, classes, ...)

Arguments

x

a PathwayList, a list of Pathways or a single Pathway object.

expr

a matrix (size: number p of genes x number n of samples) of gene expression.

classes

a vector (length: n) of class assignments.

...

when invoked on a PathwayList, can use the named option "maxNodes" to limit the analysis to those pathways having up to this given number of nodes.

Details

The expression data and the pathway have to be annotated in the same set of identifiers.
