formatSIFfile {cisPath} | R Documentation

## Format PPI file downloaded from the PINA2 database (SIF Format)

### Description

This method is used to format the PPI file which is downloaded from the PINA2 database (SIF Format).

### Usage

    formatSIFfile(input, mappingFile, output)
    ## S4 method for signature 'character,character,character'
    formatSIFfile(input, mappingFile, output)

### Arguments

`input` | File downloaded from the PINA2 database (SIF Format) (character(1)).
`mappingFile` | Identifier mapping file (character(1)). Generate this file with method `getMappingFile`.
`output` | Output file (character(1)).

### Details

The input file (SIF Format) is downloaded from PINA2 database (http://cbg.garvan.unsw.edu.au/pina/).
Access http://cbg.garvan.unsw.edu.au/pina/interactome.stat.do to download PPI files with the `SIF format` for different species.
If you make use of this file, please cite the PINA database.

### Value

Each line of the output file contains Swiss-Prot accession numbers and gene names for two interacting proteins. The edge value will be assigned as `1` for each link between two interacting proteins. This may be treated as the “cost” while identifying the shortest paths between proteins. Advanced users can edit the file and change this value for each edge.
