formatiRefIndex {cisPath} | R Documentation

## Format PPI files downloaded from the iRefIndex database

### Description

This method is used to format the PPI file which is downloaded from the iRefIndex database.

### Usage

    formatiRefIndex(input, output, taxonId="")
    ## S4 method for signature 'character,character'
    formatiRefIndex(input, output, taxonId="")

### Arguments

`input` | File downloaded from the iRefIndex database (character(1)).
`output` | Output file (character(1)).
`taxonId` | NCBI taxonomy specie identifier (character(1)). Process only data for this specie. Examples: `9606: Homo sapiens` `4932: Saccharomyces cerevisiae` `6239: Caenorhabditis elegans` `7227: Drosophila melanogaster` `10090: Mus musculus` `10116: Rattus norvegicus`

### Details

The input file is downloaded from the iRefIndex database (http://irefindex.org/wiki/).
Access http://irefindex.org/download/irefindex/data/archive/release_13.0/psi_mitab/MITAB2.6/ to download PPI files with the `MITAB2.6 format` for different species.
If you make use of this file, please cite the iRefIndex 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.
