[BioC] Gene Ontology graphs: root at the top?

[De Bondt, An-7114 [PRDBE]]

Dear Adrian,

Thanks a lot for this efficient solution which results in exactly what I had
in mind!

Regards,
An

Hi,

I think what you need to do is to reverse the edges of the graph (to
go from the root to more specific nodes) when plotting the graph.


To change the direction of the edges in your graph you can use:

> basic_graph <- GOGraph(goid, GOBPPARENTS)
> basic_graph <- as(t(as(basic_graph, 'matrix')), 'graphNEL')

that is, you compute the adjacency matrix and then by transposing it
you change the direction of the edges. You should use the as()
function for small graphs since this transformation depends
quadratically on the number of nodes in the graph. For larger graphs
you can use the graph2SparseM() and sparseM2Graph() functions from the
SparseM package.

I'm also working with GO graphs and I use the following function for
changing the direction of the edges:

reverseArch <- function(dirGraph, useAlgo = 'sparse', useWeights = T) {

  if(edgemode(dirGraph) != 'directed')
    stop('The graph is not directed. Nothing to do')

  if(numEdges(dirGraph) == 0) {
    cat('Nothing to do:\n')
    return(dirGraph)
  }

  if(useAlgo == 'sparse') {
    nodNames <- nodes(dirGraph)
    ret.gr <- sparseM2Graph(t(graph2SparseM(dirGraph, useWeights)),
nodNames)
    edgemode(ret.gr) <- 'directed'

    return(ret.gr)
  }

  return(as(t(as(dirGraph, 'matrix')), 'graphNEL'))
}



I hope that this helped,
Adrian Alexa
