Get the predicted top n ligands of a target gene of interest

extract_top_n_ligands Get the predicted top n ligands of a target gene of interest.

Usage

extract_top_n_ligands(target_oi,top_n,ligand_target_matrix,ligands_position = "cols")

Arguments

target_oi

The target gene of interest of which top upstream ligands should be returned

top_n

A number between 0 and the total nr of ligands indicating which top n of ligands should be returned.

ligand_target_matrix

A matrix of ligand-target probabilty scores.

ligands_position

Indicate whether the ligands in the ligand-target matrix are in the rows ("rows") or columns ("cols"). Default: "cols"

Value

A named numeric vector of ligand-target gene probability scores of the top ligands.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
## Generate the ligand-target matrix from loaded weighted_networks
weighted_networks <- construct_weighted_networks(lr_network, sig_network, gr_network, source_weights_df)
ligands <- list("TNF", "BMP2", c("IL4", "IL13"))
ligand_target_matrix <- construct_ligand_target_matrix(weighted_networks, lr_network, ligands)
targets <- extract_top_n_ligands("BMP2", 2, ligand_target_matrix)
} # }
