pyNBS.gene_conversion_tools.convert_edgelist

This function converts gene names in a given edge list to genes names in a different field based on the given gene map. For weighted edge lists, the third column can be used to store weights of edges if the input edgelist is weighted.

---

Function Call:

convert_edgelist(query_edgelist, gene_map, weighted=False)

Parameters:

• query_edgelist (required, list): An edge list of interest.
• gene_map (required, dict): Mapping of gene names constructed by construct_query_map_table.
• weighted (optional, bool, default=False): Determine whether or not keep the weights of the input edge list. Note that this flag should only be set true if the input edge list is weighted.

Returns:

• converted_edgelist (list): The edge list in which gene names are converted based on construct_query_map_table.
