rBiopaxParser (version 2.10.0)

removeNodes: This function gracefully removes nodes from a regulatory graph.

Description

This function gracefully removes nodes from a regulatory graph. If the node to be removed has both parent and child nodes, these are connected directly. The weight of the new direct edge is the product of multiplying the incomming and outgoing edge weights of the original node.

Usage

removeNodes(graph, nodes)

Arguments

graph

graphNEL

nodes

vector of node names specifiying which nodes to remove.

Value

Returns a graph with specified nodes removed.

Examples

# load data and retrieve wnt pathway
 data(biopaxexample)
 pwid1 = "pid_p_100002_wntpathway"
 mygraph1 = pathway2RegulatoryGraph(biopax, pwid1)
 mygraph1 = layoutRegulatoryGraph(mygraph1)
 # retrieve all nodes
 nodes = nodes(mygraph1)
 # random expression data for your nodes
 values = rnorm(length(nodes), mean=6, sd=2)
 # color nodes of the graph
 mygraph1 = colorGraphNodes(mygraph1, nodes, values, colors="greenred")
 # plot the now colored graph
 plotRegulatoryGraph(mygraph1, layoutGraph=FALSE)
