Overview

Bio::Pathway is a general graph object initially constructed by the list of the ((<Bio::Relation>)) objects. The basic concept of the Bio::Pathway object is to store a graph as an adjacency list (in the instance variable @graph), and converting the list into an adjacency matrix by calling to_matrix method on demand. However, in some cases, it is convenient to have the original list of the ((<Bio::Relation>))s, Bio::Pathway object also stores the list (as the instance variable @relations) redundantly.

Note: you can clear the @relations list by calling clear_relations! method to reduce the memory usage, and the content of the @relations can be re-generated from the @graph by to_relations method.

Constructor Details

#initialize(relations, undirected = false) ⇒ Pathway

Initial graph (adjacency list) generation from the list of Relation.

Generate Bio::Pathway object from the list of Bio::Relation objects. If the second argument is true, undirected graph is generated.

r1 = Bio::Relation.new('a', 'b', 1)
r2 = Bio::Relation.new('a', 'c', 5)
r3 = Bio::Relation.new('b', 'c', 3)
list = [ r1, r2, r3 ]
g = Bio::Pathway.new(list, 'undirected')

#breadth_first_search(root) ⇒ Object Also known as: bfs

Breadth first search solves steps and path to the each node and forms a tree contains all reachable vertices from the root node. This method returns the result in 2 hashes - 1st one shows the steps from root node and 2nd hash shows the structure of the tree.

The weight of the edges are not considered in this method.

#cliquishness(node) ⇒ Object

Returns completeness of the edge density among the surrounded nodes.

Calculates the value of cliquishness around the ‘node’. This value indicates completeness of the edge density among the surrounded nodes.

Note: cliquishness (clustering coefficient) for a directed graph is also calculated. Reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustering_coefficient

Note: Cliquishness (clustering coefficient) for a node that has only one neighbor node is undefined. Currently, it returns NaN, but the behavior may be changed in the future.

end

#depth_first_searchObject Also known as: dfs

Depth first search yields much information about the structure of the graph especially on the classification of the edges. This method returns 5 hashes - 1st one shows the timestamps of each node containing the first discoverd time and the search finished time in an array. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th hashes contain ‘tree edges’, ‘back edges’, ‘cross edges’, ‘forward edges’ respectively.

If $DEBUG is true (e.g. ruby -d), this method prints the progression of the search.

The weight of the edges are not considered in this method.

Note: The result of this method depends on the order of Hash#each (and each_key, etc.), which may be variable with Ruby version and Ruby interpreter variations (JRuby, etc.). For a workaround to remove such dependency, you can use @index to set order of Hash keys. Note that this bahavior might be changed in the future.

#directedObject

Changes the internal state of the graph from ‘undirected’ to ‘directed’ and re-generate adjacency list. The undirected graph can be converted to directed graph, however, the edge between two nodes will be simply doubled to both ends.

Note: this method can not be used without the list of the Bio::Relation objects (internally stored in @relations variable). Thus if you already called clear_relations! method, call to_relations first.

For a workaround to remove such dependency, you can use @index to set order of Hash keys. Note that this behavior might be changed in the future.

If no argument is assigned, internal property of the graph @label is used to select the nodes.

hash = { 'a' => 'secret', 'b' => 'important', 'c' => 'important' }
g.label = hash
g.subgraph
list = [ 'a', 'b', 'c' ]
 g.subgraph(list)

#to_listObject

Graph (adjacency list) generation from the Relations

Generate the adjcancecy list @graph from @relations (called by initialize and in some other cases when @relations has been changed).

#to_matrix(default_value = nil, diagonal_value = nil) ⇒ Object

Convert adjacency list to adjacency matrix

Returns the adjacency matrix expression of the graph as a Matrix object. If the first argument was assigned, the matrix will be filled with the given value. The second argument indicates the value of the diagonal constituents of the matrix besides the above.

The result of this method depends on the order of Hash#each (and each_key, etc.), which may be variable with Ruby version and Ruby interpreter variations (JRuby, etc.). For a workaround to remove such dependency, you can use @index to set order of Hash keys. Note that this behavior might be changed in the future. Be careful that @index is overwritten by this method.

#undirectedObject

Changes the internal state of the graph from ‘directed’ to ‘undirected’ and re-generate adjacency list.

Note: this method can not be used without the list of the Bio::Relation objects (internally stored in @relations variable). Thus if you already called clear_relations! method, call to_relations first.
